When: March 16, 2009

What do you call it? My grandma, who was from southern Missouri, said "sody" or "sodypop," so this billboard reminded me of her. Out here in San Diego, most people call it "soda"; I'm one of the few who call it "pop." I've also heard about people who call it "Pepsi" even when it's Coke, or "Coke" even when it's Pepsi.

Is there a regional word for brown, fizzy water where you're from? You can let me know in the comments.
