Looks like soda is the most popular
answer, being used throughout the country with a higher concentration in the East. Pop is a
Western word, with not a single Eastern response being pop. Coke is mostly a Southern word,
while cola and sodapop are barely used at all.
Other responses included "flavored water" in Ohio, and two write-ins of "tonic"
from Massachusetts. There were six write-ins for "soft drink", with two of those write-ins from Louisiana.
Someone else wrote in to tell me they only drink "Coke" products (thanks for sharing).
