2079: Buffalo has the most temperate climate on the planet and still calls Pop by it's proper name.

[–] BigWheelPowerBrakeSlider@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I wonder why calling it pop made it only to far western NY and then soda in the rest of Upstate? There was a lot of trade between Buffalo, Rochester, and Syracuse, especially with the advent of the Erie Canal.

Where is "soft drink" on this map?

[–] darthskull@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Soft drinks include any non hard drink, including all the non carbonated stuff. This is specifically referring to carbonated beverages.

The correct term is obviously "beer"

How funny would it be if one state was completely colored red and it was "but of the old sweet and bubbly" or some shit.

[–] Verat@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I say "cola" if it is a cola type drink, and soda if it isn't. Raised in the Midwest for background.
