The more I look at it, the more I am amazed at the North/South line between pop and Coke.  The northeast is dominated by soda, but how did that settle in the St. Louis/SW Illinois area?  I can understand soda or pop, but Coke as a generic name for all soft drinks?  You don't say "let's take the Chevy to the store" when you have a Ford sitting in the driveway.

Branding is key... What do you use to blow your nose... Kleenex or Tissue Paper??
It was always COKE in our house, but of course My Grandfather owned the plant and Coke was our Families life since my Dad was the sales manager for 25 years... Pepsi was considered a Swear word in our house, and POP was not allowed either...
If a restaurant didn't serve Coke, my Dad wouldn't take us there.

Me too.  Grew up in Canada it was pop. Moved to California and had to adapt to soda, never realized why.....thanks Joey.

      Also had to learn how to say house and mouse again, last letter of the alphabet was not Zed.............and had to stop saying "eh" at the end of each sentence  '<img'>

We always send it back in a restaurant when we ask for Coke or Diet Coke and they bring Pepsi.

Yeah, My Father would go irate when the server would bring out drinks and even though we asked for Coke, another was in it's place. He would call out for the manager and make a big stink about it.
It was a fun childhood when we went out for dinner!
