[at-l] soda/pop/coke - was: Denatured alcohol container

[weathercarrot@hotmail.com (The Weathercarrot)]

At one point I was actually thinking of making a map of North America 
specifically depicting where it's soda, pop, and coke. New England's soda 
would be surrounded on three sides by Canada's pop; meanwhile the soda/pop 
line would proceed south from Lake Ontario, straight through downtown 
Rochester, NY, through west-central PA (Altoona?) and into northwestern WV. 
>From the south, the coke and soda line is less difined, and has some 
overlap, such as in VA, or in urban areas like Atlanta. WV seems to be where 
soda, coke and pop come together. Pop then continues well into the 
upper-mid-west, but interestingly turns back into soda for portions of the 
Rockies and the west coast. Not quite sure what's going on in Texas....

The correct terms are pop or soda pop, not soda.  Soda is something that 
goes
with Scotch.  Nobody around here understands that.
