When I ordered "pop" at a restaurant in Georgia one time, the waitress said "You must be from either Wisconsin or Michigan. They're the only people who call it "pop." We call is soda down here." Hmmmffffttt!! My brother and sister-in-law live in Atlanta (her born and bred, him for over 40 years). He asked me once if I wanted any "cokes." I told him, no, I'd rather have Dr. Pepper. He said down there, ANY "pop" or soda or soft drink was referred to as "coke(s). I don't think I have an "accent" (from Wisconsin), but everyone south of the Wisconsin/Illinois border insists I do!!!
