Pop vs.Soda

This is a fun site to poke around on for those who have a cultural draw to soft drinks...

The Great Pop vs. Soda Controversy

The site was created as part of an informal research project, trying to determine the regional vernacular associated with soft drinks throughout the U.S. The author's abstract sums the idea up as:

"Using the World Wide Web to gather and process data from across English-speaking North America, I intend to plot the regional variations in the use of the terms "Pop" and "Soda" to describe carbonated soft drinks. "

Once you start getting a little deeper into the site, like checking out the actual Pop vs. Soda stats, things get a little silly. However, for those who enjoy soft drink related entertainment, allow yourself a few moments to indulge.
