During the Thursday morning Text-In Topic, part of the Weekday Wake-up on the SVI Radio Network, Duke & Dahl asked the listeners a survey question. Do you refer to carbonated beverages as soda or pop?
According to popvssoda.com, most residents of Western Wyoming refer to the drinks as pop. And listener responses seemed to hold true to that as more than three times as many pop responses were received over soda.
As part of the topic, listeners were also asked what their favorite flavor or kind of pop, or soda, is. Mountain Dew (or some variation of) came in first place followed by Dr. Pepper. Coke was third followed by Pepsi in fourth.
Below are the responses from the radio listeners.
