First time my fiancee (who is from Ohio) said she wanted some pop, i though she said she wanted some POT. Funny, at her work as a server, she has had the same problem several times when she mentions pop instead of soda. Soda is very ingrained here in Jersey

Soda here as mapped.

Pop.

Soda is that stuff you get in the baking aisle.

Soda, as mapped.

I can understand and respect "pop," but calling all soft drinks "coke" is just wrong. I could make a blanket statement about the South here, but I won't. ;)

do those of you that call it pop get a 'sack' or a 'bag' to carry your purchases out of the store in?

I say bag, but husband says sack.

A sack is a scrotum. If you say sack around here, even in reference to football, it's inevitable that someone will make the joke. My aunt actually gave my son a toy called a "balzac," and couldn't understand what we found to be so funny.
