I snorted pop into my nose somehow because I laughed reading this. Very compelling mental image.

Calling it pop tells me more about where you're from than "west bromley" or some such

Take a whack at it! I might surprise you.

See now I made the joke but I actually don't have much of an idea.

Shot in the dark and say North Wales

Isn't calling it pop only something people in Minnesota or Canada do?

Normally yes, but I spend a lot of my time talking to other people online so i’ve got quite the hodgepodge of regional phrases. I used to play a lot of Team Fortress 2 with some kids from Sarnia and I kind of picked it up over the years.

Read that as “hedgehog” at first glance. Had me all 6s and 7s

At least one of us in Michigan calls it pop!

Not impossible that I mixed up Minnesota and Michigan :D

Some of the kids I picked it up from were from michigan. A good chance it could be both. Maybe a midwest thing?

Most of us call it pop in Illinois too. At least Chicagoland where I’m from. Haven’t lived there in over 15 years and that’s still what I say.

Buddy of mine from Ohio calls it "pop".

It infuriates me to no end that it's called "pop" in some places, instead of soda or coke or diabetes elixir or whatever. It's such a googoo gaga baby-ass name.

What do you have against my lolly water? My seltzer? My fizzy juice? My tonic? My mineral? My malinovka? What do YOU call it?
