55% Dixie; I'm very surprised it wasn't pure Yankee! (That 'Y'all' question was skewed on the Dixie side, I think. It didn't offer my routine answer. I type y'all here sometimes; but my standard is simply "You.")

44% (Yankee). Barely into the Yankee category. This is not because of my southern answers. It's because most of my answers were northeastern, Great Lakes, midwest, or all over. My only kind of southern answer is a grocery bag is a bag (not sack or anything else).

yep, I guess...that's what it said...I was asked if I wanted a sack in AZ. But we say "bag" with a long A in it.

Pop vs Soda County by County US Map... This is kinda cool...I tried to put the map here but it's too big and doesn't look good when it's shrunk down.

That's cool, Kaili! I was surprised to see that so many people use the term, POP (like my grandpop did)!

33% (Yankee). A definitive Yankee. In college my next door neighbor in the dorm and I used to go to the local bottle shop and buy carbonated beverages to sell in the dorms ($1 an 8-pack for bottles sold for 25 cents and a 5 cent deposit return on bottles). We put signs up in the bathroom stating soda was on sale in my room and pop on sale in her room. I was from Philly, and she was from Pittsburgh.
