I drink Pop and bake with soda.....

I live near DC and everyone (including my own kids) order "soda." I am from SW Michigan and grew up listening to WLS, WCFL and watching the Cubs and Garfield Goose on WGN.

I drink soda. Pop is the sound a champagne bottle makes.

Perhaps Wisconsin should be drummed out of the brotherhood of Great Lakes States?

Next you will be telling me they DON'T play Euchre.....

Eucher is still calling games for the Brewers as far as I know. He's just a bit too old to be playing these days.

Soda.

But I used to live in a place where all sodas would be referred to as "cokes".

What/Who is Euchre?
Only the most popular card game in the US prior to the civil war. It was an import from England. After the war, Poker took over and now Euchre is only played in the Great Lakes states.

At one job I had, there was always a game going in the lunchroom. They (we) usually got in 3 or 4 games during a 45 min lunch break. (and still got to eat!)

Bob Uecker is the radio announcer for the Milwaukee Brewers. He's a former Major League player, actor (Mr. Belvedere, Miller commercials ["I must be n the front row!"]), and general clown. It was obviously a poor pun.

Drink.

That way, it isn't limited to soda/pop.

Yes I've heard of asking for a coke, and them asking what flavor. But we ask for a soda here.

DaveW,
Sorry, never heard of that card game "Euchre" But I'm not really a card player. Used to play when I was younger..."Put and Take" and "Go Fish"

Bill,
Yes...I know of Bob Uecker. He still does announce for the Milwaukee Brewers. Was a pretty good actor also

"Orange."

Oh, I remember this, when I first moved to Mississippi. That was very confusing!

I usually just ask my husband, "Would you like a drink?" indicating any. I guess we don't drink enough pop around here to say "pop" very often, but when I do, it's "pop."

When I first moved to the Midwest, and they called it soda, I had no idea whatsoever what they were talking about.

But i have lived where they also call it sodapop.

Over in the northwest in Oregon, we have pop. Then we moved to North Carolina where it was either coke or soda, and then to Florida, and I hear all three because there's a big diversity of people living there.

But for me...it's pop. Or Soda. People who call it generically coke are crazy loonies of you ask me It's the name of a kind of pop/soda for crying out loud! ha ha.
