So, okay. Do you now or have you ever called:
Carbonated beverage - soda or pop?
Public water dispenser - bubbler or water fountain?
Large piece of living room furniture - sofa, couch, or Davenport?

Yes to all of those: Born and raised in the North East. Have lived most of my life in the South.
True story: We moved from NJ to TN in the early 70's to run a marina. My mom was running the counter at the marina store. A fisherman came in looking for something to drink.
Fisherman: "What kind of Cokes do you have?"
Mom: "Small Coke, Large Coke or can Coke."

When I go into a restaurant with which I'm not familiar I ask the server what their "house cola" is.

That map has my current county as 80-100% "pop", but I have not heard a single person here say that.
