I grew up in New Orleans and always called whatever brand of soft drink you wanted a Coke. "What kind of Coke do you want?" Then I moved to Texas where everyone calls it a soda, or if you get real hicky, soda water.

Then I moved to Minnesota where it was called pop. I absolutely hated the term and refused to be sucked into calling it 'pop'.

But after eight years of living there, to my dismay, I started calling it pop. Now that I've moved back to Texas I can't get myself to saying sodas - go figure... help

Now it looks as though we'll be moving.... somewhere else in the country - but I guess it'll always be pop to me.
