    My late mother started with diet soda when it had saccharin as the artificial sweetener...early 1980's. After that it was diet Pepsi. How I acquired a liking for diet soda.

    I like me some MT Dew, but there is a knockoff that I think Save a Lot carries called MT Holler...it's better than Dew IMO

    The map does not correctly represent NC. I moved from pop to soda. I’ve never heard anything but soda used in western Nc.

    You anywhere near Franklin? I know a guy down there. Crazy for gemstones he is.

    Up here I haven’t heard anyone under the age of about 85 refer to it as “pop”. It seems that the manufacturers themselves are staying out of the fray too. I don’t see anywhere on a bottle of Diet Pepsi mentioning either term.
