 ;D  76% (Dixie).

My favorite Q/A like this was:

"What do you call the clothing that men wear to swim in?"   Thong

Still makes me giggle.

40% (Yankee). A definitive Yankee.

That was fun.   :)  It was pretty accurate for me, I think.  On some of the responses, it narrowed it right down to a region.

My guess would be that both the South and New England are closer to the British than are the Middle Atlantic States.

I'm still suprised that, apparently, there are places where they use a particular brand name as the generic term for "soft drink."

the south and specifically Texas....anything carbonated is a Coke...even if it is a Pepsi. So if you are down here visiting and someone askes "Do you want a Coke?" dont' be surprised if they say "We got Dr Pepper and Sprite which one you want?"

Taht is so true. Everything is coke!
What kind of coke do ya want? I'll have a sprite, orange etc.
I remember my first trip to Chicago when I was in college. I went to a McDonalds and the lady asked me what kind of "pop" I wanted. I had no idea what she was talking about!  :laugh:

When I was little still in NJ, I remember all soda was called coke there too.  Same thing, if you ordered a coke they said what kind?

That is so true. Everything is coke!

Well, of course everything would be Coke in Atlanta! Don't they shoot you if you ask for Pepsi?  :laugh:

83% (Dixie).  Did you have any Confederate ancestors?

I love this test!  It was great, how region-specific it was.  Much more well-researched than most internet quizzes.

Being a great dead actor does not necessarily make one an authority on soft drinks. ...

But maybe he was talking about "New Coke." In that case, he would be absolutely correct. "New Coke" did taste like shit. It tasted like ... Pepsi. ...  ;D

Interesting, I'm 53% (Dixie). Barely into the Dixie category.

I think this is because there were some I knew the answer to only because I had lived in the Deep South for 7 years.  If I hadn't I would have probably not been able to answer those questions at all.

I love these kinds of quizzes.  Thanks Rich!
