The first time I tried this, I got the same results you did. I thought that was weird. The second time, I read the words more slowly, and I got the Northeast one (which is the right). Apparently I can't read or something....
Do you call carbonated drinks pop? ;)
I use to call them pop... but after living in CA for a while, I changed it to soda. I was sick of the strange looks and comments. :)
I say pop, too. I also say "ice box" instead of fridge. I get some weird looks with that one.
I got the same as you, too.
I grew up in the South, so I call them all cokes.
I remember reading an article once about how the amount of accents is decreasing because so many people move.
I got Midland. I was born in Australia but raised in Houston, TX. I guess my drawls cancelled each other out?
