I once announced to a room full of Minnesotans that I was going to get a pop.

The shameful walk to the coke machine felt very lonely as I contemplated all that had led me there.

Odd, I've been in MN forever and I'm looked at like an idiot for calling it soda.

I never heard anyone up there call it soda either.

I was in Arizona recently and a waiter looked at me like I was an idiot asking what kind of pop they had.

They were probably just confused.
