The UK map of where people say “scone” or “scone” is wild.

Anyone else remember Soul Calibur 2 Conquest mode?
No. Was that in the GameCube version?
FWIW I only rented the game once, so I didn't get to play it much. My most memorable moment in the game was when a female fighter said to Link, "you're all talk". Of all people, she chose to say that to Link. Fucking Link.
Arcade version only, I think. You chose a character and one of three factions, and then fought your eight matches against CPU versions of other players' chosen characters. The CPU difficulty was based on the performance of the character's player, and I think there was even some variation in the AI depending on the player's habits. Likewise, your own character would be in the system for other players to fight.
Anyway, each faction controlled territory on a map based on its players' overall W/L ratio, and it looked something like the image in the OP.
i don't want to be in a place that calls it pop that's stupid as fuck
Coke is just as stupid, referring to any soft drink
it's stupid but the drink is also stupid and im not fat
doesnt coke refer to coca cola specifically?
also pop sounds dumb as hell, soda all the way.
Not in the South lol. My grandma asks what kind of Coke I want, mountain dew or coca cola
What's going on down in Columbus County, North Carolina?
Strong guess: “Pepsi” the same way people use “Coke”
Wow, the evil forces of "coke" have made significant territory gains since the last time I saw one of these maps. I have never heard a single person call a random non-coke soda a "coke". I recently moved to a "pop" area, but I haven't received any push back from saying soda at least. I did hear some old people here specifically call it "soda pop" though.
Where is Carbonated Beverage on the graph?
I saw we saw off everything south of the Mason Dixon line and deport all the Republicans to it.
When I asked for a Dr Pepper in Tennessee the waitress said 'here's your coke'. So I said 'wait, I didn't order a coke' and she said ' it's Dr Pepper'. I thought she was flirting with me, so I started smiling at her and gave her a nice tip. This whole interaction now makes a bit more sense.
Yeah... I'm gonna need a detailed breakdown of the rationale you followed to get from "she called Dr. Pepper coke" to "she's flirting with me", if you don't mind.
He thought she was saying a small lie to get a reaction out of him. Like playing a small prank. Playfulness
Sure, lets go with that. The fact she was really cute did not cloud my judgment in any way.
That would be a seriously weird way to flirt
Could be said of 95% of all instances of flirting.
In my adolescence I thought flirting was a secret art. Turns out it really is just being kinda weird and then the other person likes it since they would have liked anything you said with that cute mouth of yours.
The south is easily persuaded, hence brand name
Soda is what it is, comes from soda fountain, soda water etc.
Midwest on some otherworldly cute BS. Dafuq is pop, the sound it makes?!
TIL Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Utah, Montana, Wyoming, and Colorado are part of the midwest.
Chart gaslighting the public to think Washingtonians say 'pop'. Usually people say Soda here.

Pop! Pop!
You know they're laughing at you, right? I mean that's my theory.

soda pop
Coke is not synonymous with either pop or soda...
It is in the south, at least where i was
That's because they people there are ignorant.

I dunno where they got this data from, but the PNW is definitely not "pop" country in my experience.
Yeah around here in Cascadia we just call it “the dark waters of imperialism”.
