Very interesting!

Soda or pop? Coo-pon or cyu-pon? Maps reveal how America speaks:

And here are all 122 maps! You can select a map and a particular city to find out how a specific region speaks:

This is absolutely fascinating! There's one I love that I can't mention on here because it pretty much immediately identifies what state I'm from, but it completely describes us

I did love the 'Aunt' one. Now I know the reason why ever since I left New England, everyone looks at me funny when I say it

I find several interesting as I don't say the word like the map indicates I should Coupon specifically is a good example. I've always pronounced it like "cute" white the map says Louisiana does not. Wonder where I got that from?

That infamous mixing pot of New Orleans is where you get that.

But if you look at the map, New Orleans is super bright red like everyone says Coopon. Apparently they didn't ask the right people.

I do find it interesting that the map for the drive-thru liquor store question (#118) could almost be mistaken for a map depicting the liberal vs. conservative states - with the red and blue being the opposite, of course.

Just saying

While we didn't have drive through daiquiri shops in Baton Rouge, I LOVED them in Monroe and Shreveport!
