    Dude. I’m totally midwestern but refuse to say Q-pon or pop. I just can’t do it!

    Rachel –

    Was watching your vlog, I’m a Type 1 from Chicago myself and went to school in central Wisconsin also UWSP, is that where you went? I lived in the south for awhile so I kind of have gotten away from saying pop. Did you call the water fountain in Wisconsin – bubbler?

    I’m going to have to do this one. My biggest difference is Pop, I’ve always said soda. I can’t believe they didn’t ask the sack/bag question, maybe I’ll add it! Oh and sneakers. LOL!

  4. Minnesota Nice says:

    How about “purse” vs “pocketbook” vs “handbag”. (I go for purse)

    Oh, that’s fun! I love regional speech differences.
