Let's say you've got a thing for sugary carbonated beverages. Let's also assume you do a lot of traveling. Maybe you're nomadic. Anyway, you're thirsty, and you know exactly what you want, but the locals don't understand what you're asking for.
Thankfully, someone has created a soda vs. pop map. Some places call the stuff soda (the correct name, thank you very much), others call it pop. Some places (mostly in the south) just call everything "Coke." Then there's a category for "other."
My question: those people who responded "other" - what do they call the stuff?

I am firmly in the pop camp, as any good Minnesotan would be. I wonder what the "other" in the Northwest Angle is all about. Crazy border folks.
Thank you to trac. It is pop.
All my Truman friends got a kick out of me back in the day. "What's this?" holding a Coke "Coke." "What's this?" holding a Dr. Pepper "Coke." "What's this?" holding a root beer "Coke." At least if it was a cola (which is probably what "other" is or maybe soft drink or fountain drink.) ~Sabra
