70%GAE and 30% Yankee. And why would you call it "pop"? What are 90? It's SODA! I THINK that the word originated as soda pop. That was my impression anyway from reading older books like The Outsiders.

Yes, I believe it was soda pop too! DW grandma was calling it that but she was the only person that I heard saying it that way arround here. Everybody else that I know calls it soda.

Phew! After reading the British one I was starting to think I was having a stroke because I didn't know what they were going on about even enough to guess!
