Yeah that one is kinda weird. But hey, we here in Michigan know that we're right.

I used to work with a guy from Florida that called everything either a "Coke" or a "colddrink (all slurred together)".

btw - that's a great idea, Brian!

Yeah, them Yooupers are too close to Canada (oops, now I have offended folks in nearly every place I like to visit except North Dakota). Actually I visit the UP a lot and just got back from a loop over Lake Superior last month. Great folks up there. And I have a brother who lives in Duluth--he talks funny too!

They obviously know the correct term for a familiar carbonated beverage in Minnesota too.

Was on a trip in Pennsylvania, asked a guy in a small store in a small town where I could get a pop around here. He says "Pap, what's pap? Oh you must mean soda." Oh man!

We moved from virginia to Colorado when I was a kid and pulled into a service staion offering "Ice Pop Snacks" on their billboard. I walked in and asked for an "ice pop snack", thinking it would be refreshing. The native behind the counter had No idea what I was talking about. I'm still looking for one......... 20 yrs later.
