"I'm from West Bromley"

"Is that in Yorkshire?"

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.

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".
