I was raised in Idaho, and called it Pop until I went to college in Maryland. I was so confused, what's this "Coke" stuff, and why does everyone laugh at me if I refer to a "can of pop"? Worse, I later moved to South Carolina, where I had numerous exchanges like this one with an arbitrary waitress:
"Honey, wudya wanta drink?"
"I'd like a Coke, please."
"What kahnd?"
"What kind? How about Coke?"
"We don't have Coke, how's Pepsi sound?"
"Um ... ok."
