Media Group Thrillist recently put together this iconic soft drink map that chronicles the most popular pops in each American state. It's interesting to see what state is drinking what and how diverse the tastes range from state to state.
'The Most Iconic Soft Drink of Every State in America' is a fun technicolor map that divides the US up by its various states. Each state is a different color with a graphic of the region's most popular pop bottle featured in the center. Some of the popular state pops are easy enough to guess since that specific drink is made in that region. Others are a bit harder to predict making this map a super fun read. For example, Coke is Georgia's most popular pop whereas Kool-Aid is the most popular drink in Nebraska.
