Growing up in Ohio, it was called "pop" and no one disputed this. Later I was exposed to friends and relatives from the east who called it "soda." Now I live in the South and it's "coke." Where do you draw the lines between these words for the same thing?

There's a cool interactive website here, and they have a nice detailed map here.

Ohio and a good bit of the midwest own "pop" but I find the "soda" enclaves of St. Louis and Milwaukee interesting. I guess "soda" is more of the sophisticated big city term.

I'll stick with "pop."

My first entry. Happy 2004!

I was glad to see it get started with Ohio State winning the Fiesta Bowl.

Hope to be adding lots of cool stuff to the website this year. We'll see if I accomplish half of what I have in mind!
