Exploring Montana's Favorite Soda: Pepsi And More Insights

First off: Do you call it soda, pop, or coke?

It's a geographical difference. The South calls it "coke." Parts of the Midwest calls it "pop." Most of the rest of the country calls it "soda."

I think... Does that sound right?

Oddly enough, I go back and forth between soda and pop. Sometimes I'll say "Hey, toss me a pop." Other times I'll say, "I think I'm going to have a soda."

I don't know why; it just depends on the day, I suppose.

Are you buying that Pepsi is superior in Montana over the likes of Coca-Cola, Mountain Dew and Dr. Pepper?

All of our surrounding neighbors fall under the Mountain Dew umbrella, but not us, baby. We apparently like Pepsi.

Hot take: I like Pepsi more than Coca-Cola. I stand with Montana.

You should take this with a grain of salt because plenty of Redditors are calling out the research.

One person said, "3000 Americans divided by 50 states is 60 people per state. Not sure if that's a large enough sample size."

So don't take this as scripture, ok?

And honestly, you should cool it on the soda/pop. That stuff is nothing but sugar and eventually fat.

Sorry, had to sneak in dad mode at the end.
