what do you drink?

[yvonne frasure]

In West Virginia it was always pop.  "Coke"is a brand name and typically used only when specifying one type over another. "Cola"is used in some areas.  WHen I lived in St. Louis, it was typically "soda".  You were laughed at and referred to as one of the Beverly Hillbilly's if you used the term "Pop"

There's a good web-based project here that has a map of all the responses,
which makes it quite easy to see the regional variations:
