I have never seen a Pepsi outside of the United States. Though I have seen A LOT of Coke Zero. Yet very little Diet Coke. Which makes me sad because Diet Vanilla Coke is my drink of choice.

I wonder what it is about Buffalo that makes them such heavy Pepsi drinkers?

This thread reminds me of this map:


What's weird to me is that a good part of southern appalachia (the parts in TN, NC, and south of that) heavily use the term "coke" for soft drinks. Are those parts of the "central appalachia" where Pepsi outsells Coke? I can't imagine using "Coke" as the word for soft drinks but also preferring Pepsi to Coca-Cola. Does that mean you would say "My favorite kind of coke is Pepsi"?

How did this go from Coke vs. Pepsi to soda vs. pop vs. Coke?

You posted that map...

Actually, I posted that map. Sorry for derailing the thread
