I disagree with you on that one. It seems in Wisconsin and Michigan they call it soda. In Illinois, we call it pop.

My daughter spent some time in Whitefish MT. Beautiful place but basically you have the folks that live and work there full time. They live pretty modestly. Then there are the folks with the huge 2nd homes. Needless to say they are very wealthy. Daughter was baby-sitting the kids for some of these folks. They were going to drive down to the lake to cool off one hot summer afternoon. The kids jumped into my daughters 1997 Toyota Tercel. They began to complain about how hot they were. Daughter tells them to "roll down the window". They look all over the place and can't figure it out. Daughter finally shows thme how to use the crank to roll down the window.

I was at a park with my niece and nephew this summer. My nephew wanted to get something out of my car. Instead of giving him the keyless entry I gave him the actual key to unlock the door. He takes off for the car and after about five steps comes back and asks me if the key will really open the door (he's 13)!! Laughed so hard I almost had an accident!

I call it soda but most of the people around this area (KC) call it Pop. I first started drinking it in NJ so I thought that is where I learned what to call it.

I was shopping once with a friend form PA and I asked for a bag. She could figure out what I was asking for (she said a bag is a purse and I wanted a sack)
