Via [livejournal.com profile] metalana: [livejournal.com profile] strangemaps, which is quite wonderful.

I particularly note a map I've always wondered about: a US Pop vs. Soda Map.

I said "pop" because I grew up in Western New York, but then we moved to Long Island and they made fun of me for saying "pop" so I started saying "soda". Then we moved to south FL and "soda" was the word there as well. No one says "soda" here but I am stuck saying it because "pop" sounds very strange to me now. My husband, who is Canadian, makes fun of me for not saying "pop". I can't win!
