soda 1, pop 0 -- Minneapolis, Minnesota

[Millie Webb]

That is just strange, Dan.  I never hear a native say "soda", but it appears
on a sign every once in a while.  Usually a formal sign created elsewhere
and brought in for the occasion (like at the State Fair, on the food booths
that travel the country to different Fairs, and don't use the "right" word
for Pronto Pup).  :-)
