I agree, we call every kind of soft drink Coke.If you come down here and ask for a soda or pop you'll get funny looks. A restaurant could be serving Pepsi and you would order a Coke.
My favorite is something like: "Hey, grab me a coke!" "Alright, what kind?" "Mountain Dew."
That's a pretty good one... and I would say an accurate map (at least here)... :love-it:What do you call the thing from which you might drink water in a school?
oh it was really weird..."Bubblah" would REALLY be weird...

I would call it a water fountain, and I've heard -drinking fountain...
I worked for a year at a school that was maybe 35 miles off Cape Cod, and I remember the 1st time some kid asked if he could go to "the bubbler"...
me: uh... the what?
kid: the bubbler...
me: wtf is that...?
(I'm paraphrasing... I'm sure I probably said wth is that... )
((or maybe not... who can really remember...))
Anyway, there really is that pocket of people who say bubbler... which I had never heard before... :love-it:
