Alright Midwest peeps let’s settle this heated debate.
Pop or Soda?
Michigander here - Pop.
Pop in iowa
Well it sure ain’t coke!
STL: “soda” or “sodie”
There both wrong the right answer is obviously soda pop water
Strangely, Decatur, IL is in the “soda” region, but my family usually says, “pop.” I knew a guy from Peoria that said “sodie,” no idea if that was regional or just him.
My spouse is from that central IL area and also says sodie.
We also used to talk about “booze cruises” where I’m at (northern IL), and she always knew it as “road sodez” (or something like that).
Northwest Indiana and we say Pop.
Northern Illinois checking in. It’s pop.
Soda is where ya go for the land of 10,000 lakes.
Soda. But I also moved here from the west coast and held on to soda as it trolled my midwest friends
Kansas City, here. We generally say Pop. But I hear Soda with some frequency.
Certainly not “Coke.”
About a 50/50 split in the Marquette iron range. I use both terms depending on who I’m speaking with.
Pop
I’m from Michigan but I lived in Wisconsin for 4 years. Most Michiganders call it pop, but when I lived in Wisconsin they called it soda, and I haven’t been able to get rid of the habit of calling it soda.
So we’re fighting already? lmao
Pop (in Illinois)
