It's a big week for Pop vs Soda news... here's another story about the survey that's been syndicated to a bunch of local news sites:

I was interviewed in @WillametteWeek about the @pop_vs_soda map I made a million years ago: https://www.wweek.com/drink/2024/04/18/do-you-say-pop-or-soda/

I guess it's about time to create a Mastodon account for that project...

Someone on birdsite asked about the data for this map I posted five years ago (and someone recently tweeted). The data is derived from Bert Vaux's dialect survey, made famous by Joshua Katz's red-green-blue original version of the map. I never found a clean data source; I basically extracted the dot locations from http://survey.johndal.com/results/240/.
