My old friends from tech are awesome: check out The Pop Vs. Soda Page, by my man Alan McConchie. It's a linguistic survey (with N=120,000) on the geographic distribution of word usage for "generic soft drink". (That is, some wierd folks out there say "pop" or "coke" when they should be saying "soda". Lots of them, actually.)

Also see the abandoned but still famous Bazooka Joe page (this went up in 1995, back in the dark ages) by my main man Jimmy K, who also remarkably seems to have a DeKalb, Minnesota rock band named after him (who knew?!)
