Alright Midwest peeps let’s settle this heated debate.
Pop or Soda?
Michigander here - Pop.
STL: “soda” or “sodie”
Strangely, Decatur, IL is in the “soda” region, but my family usually says, “pop.” I knew a guy from Peoria that said “sodie,” no idea if that was regional or just him.
My spouse is from that central IL area and also says sodie.
We also used to talk about “booze cruises” where I’m at (northern IL), and she always knew it as “road sodez” (or something like that).
There both wrong the right answer is obviously soda pop water
Northern Illinois checking in. It’s pop.
Soda is where ya go for the land of 10,000 lakes.
Pop in iowa
Pop (in Illinois)
Soda. But I also moved here from the west coast and held on to soda as it trolled my midwest friends
So we’re fighting already? lmao
Northwest Indiana and we say Pop.
Grew up calling it pop. Went to college in Tulsa and have converted to the one true name, soda.
I say soda. I feel it’s about split 50/50 in my local area
Soda, always and forever. (I even converted friends and my spouse from “pop.”)
I use both; often soda to pad out shorter sentences and pop for longer.
Pop
