The map is completely wrong, at least for Colorado. I've been all over the state, and I've never heard it referred to as pop. Soda all the way.

I would say Mr Pepper, as I have no idea what Mr. Pibb is. Either way

Why the particular dislike the term "pop"? Is it due to it being a British English term? (Admittedly it's an extremely out-dated term in the UK, with "fizzy drink" being the most popular informal term as far as I'm aware).
