My sister sent me a link to a cool little website that shows the geographic use of words to describe carbonated soft drinks. The Pop vs. Soda Page has an interesting map of where people live in the U.S. and Canada who use “soda,” “pop,” “Coke,” or other terms. And you can scroll down a little and enter your own demographic info along with which term YOU use the most. Pretty cool! The data on the map come only from people who enter their info on that page, so it reflects the input from you and everyone else. So far they’ve had over 265,000 people participate. Check it out!
