2079: Buffalo has the most temperate climate on the planet and still calls Pop by it's proper name.
I wonder why calling it pop made it only to far western NY and then soda in the rest of Upstate? There was a lot of trade between Buffalo, Rochester, and Syracuse, especially with the advent of the Erie Canal.
Because NYC is far more influential. We’re a soda fountain town.
WNY is a backwards, weird place.
