What would you like to drink?

I've known this for a long time and it was definitely one of the many (though minor) cultural differences I noticed coming to Maine. But here's a picture of what we all know is true. This is more interesting than if you're a blue state or a red state. So I grew up in a turquoise state and moved to a green state.
This was shared by my goddaughter who was born in Texas (turquoise), grew up in New York (green), and is going to college in Michigan (black).

There's a small pocket around Boston, where I grew up, where soft drinks are called "tonic." It took me a few months to adjust to using "soda" when I moved to Maine. It helped that people kept looking at me strangely whenever I asked for a tonic. "Are you not feeling well?" they would often ask.
