In Detroit, we had PHOSPHATES! syrup, club soda, and a touch of phosphoric acid. Mixed for you at the soda fountain. Also eggs creams which were simply milk, syrup, and club soda.
Midwest accents use a hard "A' as opposed to the soft A of the east (CARR vs Caw).
Up North ALWAYS meant going from southern Michigan to northern Michigan. And yes, it was pop and never soda but also soda pop.
My parents called the couch also a sofa but my Grandmother called it a Davenport - because Davenport, Iowa was where many sofas were made. We had a refrigerator which was also called the icebox. Good times.
