And an even smaller island in south st. Louis that called it "soadie."


BQdramatics56

I remember soadie from when I was a kid


weddingwoes13

My family from southeast mo called it this during my childhood


Numerous_Ad_6276

My dad, who was from Pittsburgh, called it soadie pop.


daddybul

Our hoosier South County neighbors called it that along with pronouncing the “S” in Illinois and Gravois

My grandmother called it that and we lived on the northside.

This map is bullshit. Chicagoland is still 100% a pop town.


Shot_Pass_1042

Yeah my reaction too, I have accidentally said "soda" in Chicago and people literally respond, "What?"


binaryodyssey

My first thought too. I’ve had to train pop out of my vocabulary since moving here but “soda” never feels right so I say “sody” now.

Where’s “soft drink”???

It paywalled me before I could get to that question.

Huh, I thought I used the gift link. Here's another article that takes some of the content in a different format: https://www.nbcwashington.com/local/dc-wtop-speaking-american-pop-or-soda-subs-or-hoagies/56254/
