I dunno.  I never heard the term pop used until I came south.  It was
exclusively soda in New England where I grew up.  Which I'm pretty
sure is as Yankee as you get.

I took the quiz after seeing the URL on another site, but I forget the
exact details.  I think it was 40% General American, 40% Yankee, and
then some smattering of Dixie and Upper Midwestern.  Probably I picked
up the last stuff through association.
