Top Ten Bands and More

I saw something interesting on the bulletin board in the break room. It was a map of the United States, showing what the preferred term for a soft drink was in different parts of the country. I remember when I went to college in western Pennsylvania, I thought it was weird that people said "pop." According to the map, most of the country by area says "pop," but "soda" is used in the northeast and in California, where many major metropolitan areas are. "Soda" was also used in parts of Illinois and Missouri, Hawaii, and northern Alaska. Most of the South just calls everything "Coke." Pennsylvania was pretty much split in half, I think, so it makes sense that everybody says "soda" where I live, and "pop" where I went to school. I still think "soda" is the CORRECT term, however. {g}

Anyway, I said I was going to say more about my musical tastes, and while I'm sure no one is interested, I might as well keep my word.
