Although now Virginia has a lot of people from out of state, especially in Northern Virginia, so maybe its changing.Meade Skelton Haufehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16392770184791569797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10023572.post-38883039365523716762008-03-27T16:24:00.000-04:002008-03-27T16:24:00.000-04:00Honeykbee, you would be interested to know that th...Honeykbee, <BR/><BR/>you would be interested to know that there was an article on the USAir magazine discussing jimmies and sprinkles.

If she said, "Are yinz having a pop" you may still be saying pop today!<BR/><BR/>Paul - I agree with you completely about the dividing lines in NY and PA. What I find interesting is the pop/soda split in Missouri, especially around St. Louis, and Wisconsin.<BR/><BR/>Honeykbee - I have not heard of cat on a stick. Can anyone help her out? Sprinkles vs. jimmies is a great call. How about hoagie vs. sub?Seanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08811858639259602946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10023572.post-71411108171584986532008-03-27T00:36:00.000-04:002008-03-27T00:36:00.000-04:00Hysterical!

Half of people here say pop(which is correct, I agree with you) and half say soda. You can see our county on the map and it says 50% say pop. You are right, whoever did this research did an awesome job!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10023572.post-69680301989425724122008-03-26T10:54:00.000-04:002008-03-26T10:54:00.000-04:00I think I stopped calling it "pop" when attending ...I think I stopped calling it "pop" when attending high school USY events in Ohio. Something about the sound of it being said with a Jew-ey Ohio accent ("paaap") made me cringe and change my refreshment requesting ways. I think I actually stopped dating someone because of the way she said pop. There might have been other factors.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
