Thanks for participating in the Twitter fun! Enjoy your soda

In pondering why I use the term “soda pop” when I refer to a soft drink, I decided to ask Twitter. The response was pretty interesting and varied widely by region. So, I started this little hashtag called the #sodapopcokeoff. Yes, the premise is simple, the contest should get heated!

Rules for #sodapopcokeoff

Here are my Tweets regarding the contest:
