Pop goes the...

I have long been obsessed with the pop/soda question, and finally, a linguist has made a map of it! I love how it's broken down by county...

Our long national nightmare is finally over.

Also, I remember freshman year in college, sitting around with some friends in a dorm lounge, we ascertained that the pop/soda border was somewhere in central Pennsylvania. Guess we were right!

Hmmm...was I there for that? That sounds like exactly the kind of conversation I would be a part of. You know, answering one of life's most important questions.

Awesome map.

I believe you were indeed there... You might have been the one to *start* the conversation! =)

Yeah, that sounds like me. I'd like to see a breakdown on 538 of soda pseudonyms vs. voting history.
