Notes from Howard's Sabbatical from Working. The name comes from a 1998 lunch conversation. Someone asked if everything man knew was on the web. I answered "no" and off the top of my head said "Fidel Castro's favorite color". About every 6-12 months I've searched for this. It doesn't show up in the first 50 Google results (this blog is finally first for that search), AskJeeves says it's: red.

Howard says, "Pop is just wrong"
Spoken like a true soda drinker who spent time in the dreaded "pop" lands in his youth.
I'm with you brother.
Isn't this map old news, doesn't all this junk show up every few years. The map itself is from 2003. I linked to this map and a few others in a discussion of even more dialect regionalisms than just pop vs. soda when I reported the results of one the many regional dialect quizzes back in August of 2006. I suppose the popularity of Strange Maps has brought this map back to the forefront of the internet.
