Soda, Pop, and Coke are the most common names for soft drinks in the United States - and the folks from Strange Maps shows us where people use which term.  Somewhat useless, albeit interesting information.

For the record, I tried to watch the convention tonight, but it is just painful. No disrespect to Ted Kennedy's inspirational speech, but about 99% of the convention is just nonsense. I've never seen so many people talk about so little with such fanfare. Put another way, the different words people use for a soft drink is more interesting to me than the Democratic National Convention.
