Funny you say that...their accent also sounds like a Connecticut accent (Connecticut is about the only New England state without a New England accent).

And it is definitely soda. Pop? Come on now....

gotta agree with you on the accent thing. CT folks have no discernible accent.

And I question this NE accent assumption. I grew up in NYC and most of the people I knew didn't have an accent- unless it was an African-American inflection (which I always think of as something resulting from the Great Migration in the early 20th century as it is sooo southern sometimes) OR unless it is West Indian, which is funny because then they will turn it on and off like my Mom, who will be speaking perfectly normal standard english one moment and then BUST OUT in patuah with one of her peeps on the phone "Wha gwan chile, a whe mi picni tink seh she a-go inna dat de ting. Dress to puss-bak-foot!!" translation for the patuah-impaired: What's up? I don't know where my daughter thinks she's going in that outfit, she looks like a low class female!

Most people I knew really didn't have an accent at all unless they wanted to, lol, including me (I will chat some patuah every once in a while when upset or amused).
