Pop vs. Soda v. map

[Canaan 10+ year member]

Well, I can shoot holes in that lil map right now.

Catahoula Parish in Louisiana is blue in that map. That would mean that 80%+ of the residents there say "pop". I promise you, come to Catahoula and say 'pop' and everyone will think you are saying 'dad'. Its 'coke' in Catahoula...you can bank on that one.

This 'study' = flawed/false

Just like 68% of people make up statistics... No I'm serious... //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif

Obviously every single person in that parish was not surveyed. Maybe they only talked to a small percentage of it and 80% of those just happen to say pop.

I wouldn't be so quick to say that the study is flawed. You show me a study like this which is perfect and I will call this one bull shit.

Well...statistically speaking, someone HAD to double post in this thread //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

But really man...Catahoula has a very small population and I spent 18yrs of my life there.

Its 'coke' there.

And yes, no study is perfect.

But I'm thinking this study is possibly just like the 'internet facts' about the # of spiders the average person swallows in a year while asleep.

I hear Soda quite often. Then again I try to stay out of the real hick parts of Fl.

Or possibly only the people dodging work went and answered his survey, thus skewing the results from a fair average. Ask tama about it, he can verify that these worthless people answering the survey had better things to do that they were avoiding.
WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

do you call it a bubbler or a water fountain?

bubbler

 

[iagrdshaka 5,000+ posts]

it's only referred to "pop" around here

"drinks" refer to alcohol

"coke" refers to the brand, Coca-Cola

and "soda" would just get laughed at //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif

soda here - pop is a lil east, north, west, or south - smack dab in the soda part of the state //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

That's actually really cool. You can almost see other trends in the map just based on what they call soda, like Northerners moving to Florida.

In the south any carbonated soft drink is usually called a coke. Then you specify brand.
