okay, this will prove where you're from

The Inland North - You may think you speak "Standard English straight out of the dictionary" but when you step away from the Great Lakes you get asked annoying questions like "Are you from Wisconsin?" or "Are you from Chicago?" Chances are you call carbonated drinks "pop."

dang and i thought i got rid of the accent. see what happens when you live with a yooper! i don't call my carbonated drinks "pop". my grandma did and i thought it was funny. always called it soda. though does anyone know where the bubbler is?

dontcha knowder ey?

Got the same one :-) Guess it was that growing up near Milwaukee... have picked up a little bit of the MN O after going to high school there, but not enough to be a true Minnesooootan.

Didn't call it Pop either, I think that southern WI always called it soda. As for the bubbler... I remeber the looks I got the first time I asked for it in MN.... whoops, guess it is called a drinking fountain

Chick: where in WI are you originally from? I was born in Milwaukee and grew up in the 'burbs near Waukesha.

We called them bubblers at school when I was growing up and Im from a little further afield.
