Mycropht has something to say about that:

Hey, when this Indiana Girl moved to Tennessee 12 years ago, she was
endlessly confounded by people who would ask her "what kind?" whenever she
ordered a Coke.  Up there it's "pop", but for some wierd dialectical reason
I've always called it Soda.  (In Indiana a Soda is a drink made with
chocolate syrup, carbonated water and Ice Cream)

The one that I will NEVER comprehend is the "egg cream".  There's NO egg in
it.  Anyone from Brooklyn care to explain?!
