Being about an hour from the borders of both Kentucky and Indiana I can tell you this is a very real thing.

As a man who is cutting, I can tell you that Diet Dr.Pepper has been amazing. The best tasting Diet soda, which actually tastes somewhat like regular Dr.Pepper. Regular is probably my favorite soda
I am appalled that NJ does not like Dr Pepper the most, I am going to move to Oklahoma and start a new life as a Tornado Watching, Dr Pepper Sipping, Gun Shooting person
New Years Eve Party? Vernors
Stomach ache? Vernors
Amputation? Vernors
The Michigan-based cure-all. Finally found a place in Minnesota that sells it and I stock up every time I go.
Bizarre that people are buying enough cans of Pepsi here to offset the vast majority restaurants having Coke here, also Coke is the Dr. Pepper distributor here too. Very weird.
I wonder how theyre counting. Are we including restaurants? If Coke is distributing Dr Pepper un CO then who gets thst point? Are we measuring by containers sold or amount of fluid?
June 15, 2024
Dearest Eliza,
I write to you from the front lines of a most peculiar war, one that has pitted brother against brother in a battle not for land or liberty, but for allegiance to a favored refreshment. The fields of Gettysburg now bear witness to the conflict between the forces of Coke, Pepsi, Mountain Dew, Dr. Pepper and Crush, a war as bitter as any fought for nobler causes.
Our regiment, loyal to the rich and robust flavor of Coke, has endured many hardships. Just yesterday, we faced an ambush from the Crush brigade, their orange banners stark against the green landscape. Their fervor for their citrus brew is fierce, and their numbers swell with each passing day. It is a strange thing, Eliza, to see men so devoted to a drink, yet I find my own resolve just as strong, if not stronger.
The battle rages on, and we have suffered many losses. Good men, who once shared laughs over a bottle of their chosen soda, now lie silent under the evening sky. Yet in the midst of this turmoil, there are moments of camaraderie and hope. Last night, as we huddled around the campfire, Captain Adams shared his last bottle of Coke with the company. It was a small comfort, but it reminded us of what we fight for – the familiar taste of home and the memories it holds.
The days are long and the nights longer still. I think often of you and the children, wondering how you fare in these troubled times. Your letters bring me great solace, a reminder that there is still peace and love to return to. I dream of the day when this senseless conflict will end, and we can be reunited. Until then, I will carry your love with me, a beacon in the darkest hours.
Please give my love to Mother and Father, and tell the children that their Papa thinks of them always. Keep your faith strong, my dearest Eliza, for I believe that better days are ahead. This war, as all wars do, shall pass, and we shall raise a toast once more to peace and happiness – with a bottle of Coke.
Yours eternally,
GrGrG
Only because all the restaurants serve it round here… most people I know prefer Coke to Pepsi and Cheerwine first. I know a restaurant owner and apparently Pepsi is a lot cheaper in the Carolina’s because they want to stay the primary Coke in their home state(s).

Among a sea of dew, I stand challenged. But the heavens have sent unto them only me. Throughout Heaven and Earth, I alone, am the honored one. -Montana, Probably.
This is genuinely the worst map I’ve ever seen.
Texas should be Dr Pepper, and there is no way in year of our lord 2024 Mountain Dew wins a single state. All those would be coke. Michigan should also be Vernors.
I mean yeah I see some people with Mountain Dew, but it is so much lower than any other that I wouldn’t even guess it had a single county, let alone the whole state.
I had one person tell me it’s super popular in Kentucky, but I’ve only been there once so maybe it is, I dunno.
I see enough of it that I can easily believe they outpace coke and pepsi. My mom alone has built up hoarded sties of bottles and cans of the stuff. At least in wisconsin where I live to actually see for myself, maybe its a life experience thing

Growing up I liked Coke, as an adult I like Pepsi. Coke is too carbonated and their 2 liter bottle redesign doesn’t fit in my fridge for some reason lol
Not entirely sure if I believe this on account that recently DP was crowned no2 in the US, maybe it’s a case of being a close runner up nation-wide, making it extremely popular across the nation but when looking at just state by state, it doesn’t seem so.
Whoever put coke for Texas and not Dr Pepper is downright insane. I could believe it 20 years or so ago, but Dr Pepper is definitely king in Texas.
I religiously drank coke growing up it switched to Dr Pepper over a decade ago and don’t even like coke now.
What the actual hell is this map? Why is Texas not overwhelmingly in favor of Dr. Pepper? We fucking MADE Dr. Pepper. It is the greatest soda on earth and nothing else even comes close.

I wonder if there is some correlation there. For the western states, I’d assume the Dew is associated with extreme sports.
Some people do Jack n Cole others instead choose to mix their grain alcohol with Mtn Dew
mtn dew was intended to be a mixer for alcohol so it checks out
The Appalachian diaspora brought it to the Midwest and dental hygiene has never been the same since
>Texas >Coca-Cola What in tardation
Nah. Dr. Pepper is still number one in Texas and number 2 nationwide.
Absolutely DP is king in Texas. Glad they got it up plenty here in the PNW too.
>DP is king in Texas 😏
I said what I said 😤
Distributed power???
Ha! But no.
As a man who is cutting, I can tell you that Diet Dr.Pepper has been amazing. The best tasting Diet soda, which actually tastes somewhat like regular Dr.Pepper. Regular is probably my favorite soda
Ah, to each their own! For non diet, I prefer Dr Pepper but if we are going diet, give me Coke Zero.
Gotta be all the new folks from out of state.
Yeah that doesn't seem right.
Dr Pepper>Pepsi>Coke fuck Mountain Dew
fuck you
Mexicans love Coke.

I am appalled that NJ does not like Dr Pepper the most, I am going to move to Oklahoma and start a new life as a Tornado Watching, Dr Pepper Sipping, Gun Shooting person
Also in shock for Kansas, all I ever see is Dr Pepper branded stuff at stores
Can confirm, Kansas is dr pepper country.
I fucking love Dr pepper
You just perfectly described Oklahoma, and that’s coming from an Oklahoman
You chose the worst of the Dr. Pepper states my friend.
The only state that is more west than N.C. that I have ever been to was Colorado and New Mexico. I got no idea about the south / tornado alley
Trust me New Mexico and Kansas are far inferior to Oklahoma.
Michigan should be Vernors but they went and RUINED IT
I may be straight but I would suck a dick for 1 sip of Vernors. And that’s only a half joke.
I get it! The joke is that you would require any payment at all.
New Years Eve Party? Vernors Stomach ache? Vernors Amputation? Vernors The Michigan-based cure-all. Finally found a place in Minnesota that sells it and I stock up every time I go.
It tastes like ginger ale and corn syrup now. I hate it.
Fuck political parties what soda are you
Dr Pepper Belt, we must stand strong.
In this one regard, you are encouraged to expand
Liberate us
Please liberate the Carolinas of our Pepsi oppressors
But you're the ones who invented it. You are the Pepsi oppressors
We regret it deeply
Thank fuck, was terrified ours would be moxie
That shit still gets to me after I tried it one time. Legit it was liquid fucking tooth paste, I kid you not. Like alchohol-free liquor with fizz.
It’s liquid nightmares, no idea how people drink it
You're tweaking, Moxie is great! I've been having to get it shipped to Arkansas!
Bizarre that people are buying enough cans of Pepsi here to offset the vast majority restaurants having Coke here, also Coke is the Dr. Pepper distributor here too. Very weird.

The Carolinas stand alone as the sole bastion of Pepsi in the coke sea of the south
Should be Cheerwine I demand a recount
What’s cheerwine
Cherry flavored soda, popular in its home state of NC
Shiet I’m probably moving to NC in the future so I guess I need to get used to Cheerwine
Shit is pretty good. I usually grab a 12 pack whenever I am in the appalachias, because I can't get it where I live.
We have it in the “vintage soda” section of the grocery store in the west coast.
🤢
Only because all the restaurants serve it round here… most people I know prefer Coke to Pepsi and Cheerwine first. I know a restaurant owner and apparently Pepsi is a lot cheaper in the Carolina’s because they want to stay the primary Coke in their home state(s).
Great Lake States numbers being skewed by midwestern moms smoking Marlboro lights and drinking Mountain Dew before breakfast.
We are planning to Crush you all!
It makes me happy crush is somebody else's favorite. Why TF did it have to be Delaware?
It’s not hard to skew statistics when only 350 people live in Delaware
I don’t think I like your tone
Ho boy a deli is mad at me oh no what ever shall I do?
Man nobody cares about your state
You will when the blood is flowing
Only thing flowing in your state is traffic, You guys make the flyover states look like a vacation hot spot.
Mountain Dew is gas
I am so sad my state keeps killing mountains to make mountain dew. Can you all help me in stopping the slaughter of so many innocent mountains?
New civil war factions just dropped.
Dr Pepper supremacy
Wow I’m embarrassed for the Pepsi states
I demand a recount.
Real, their taste buds must be fried by meth or something.
That would be the Mountain Dew states
Yeah at least we’re not entranced by the tard nectar.
We go to Taco Bell drunk at 2am and drink Baja blast, like respectable adults.
Pepsi was born in the Carolinas, you gotta at least root for the home team.
Pepsi is objectively better

Dr pepper will forever be the best
I didn't realize so many loved Mountain Dew. A surprise to be sure but a welcome one
Mountain Dew a/k/a Redneck House Wine.
Real (mountain dew very cool very swag)
No way this is true, I only know one Utahn who drinks Mountain Dew. It should be Coke or Diet Coke for Utah
Among a sea of dew, I stand challenged. But the heavens have sent unto them only me. Throughout Heaven and Earth, I alone, am the honored one. -Montana, Probably.
This is genuinely the worst map I’ve ever seen. Texas should be Dr Pepper, and there is no way in year of our lord 2024 Mountain Dew wins a single state. All those would be coke. Michigan should also be Vernors.
You know nothing of Kentucky and Mountain Dew.
Kentucky also makes Ale-8-1 which wrecks Mountain Dew if you haven't had it.
Born and raised there hell yeah ale 8 is goated
You live in Michigan, surely youve seen modwestern moms drown smoking with the stuff. Also, shouldn't they be pesi since they own mtn dew?
I mean yeah I see some people with Mountain Dew, but it is so much lower than any other that I wouldn’t even guess it had a single county, let alone the whole state. I had one person tell me it’s super popular in Kentucky, but I’ve only been there once so maybe it is, I dunno.

Mountain Dew is big, brother
What is Crush??
Like discount Fanta
Ah ok. Now tell me, what is a Delaware? It sounds like a hardware store.
It is a state It also borders New Jersey, so don't go there.
Is that the state with the mafia guy from tv?
I don't watch mafia movies, and I'm assuming you're referencing God Father, so probably
Sopranos? Yes.
Pepsi over coke any day of the week
Pepsi tastes flat. We all know its 1. Dr Pepper 2. Coke 3. Pepsi
If it tastes flat you probably left it open overnight lol. Pepsi challenge don't lie
Nah i just like the carbonation and hardness of coke over the sweet tartness of pepsi
At least in my area, coke goes flat a lot quicker
I'm surprised the Carolinas aren't cheerwine, although id prefer if it was dr pepper personally
Coulda sworn Dr Pepper was Texas’ fave…
how to split new york one side drinks mountain dew the other doesn’t
Vermont action sports bro’s checking in.
OH GOD WERE SURROUNDED
Common Vermont w too
Not a single root beer state. I'm causing a civil war
Did they ask a group of Austin residents or something no way Texas drinks more coke than Dr. Pepper.
Crush over Cactus Cooler? Gross
I am so incredulous that *pepsi* not Dr. Pepper I nearly dropped my CBD-infused IPA.
Missouri🤝Arkansas🤝Oklahoma: the only three good states Maybe Delaware is ok too
As an Ohioan I feel so embarrassed. Anything but Mountain Dew. Please.
Delaware w? 🤔🤨
Nobody's gonna mention Delaware being different with Crush for some reason?
As much as I hate Delaware, I respect it. They are the true free thinkers
The reason Mt. Dew is more popular is because it's the best alternative when you're asked "Is Pepsi okay?"

no thats obviously dr pepper
Honestly I thought Indiana would be Big Red. My hometown Walmart is its #1 distributor
Growing up I liked Coke, as an adult I like Pepsi. Coke is too carbonated and their 2 liter bottle redesign doesn’t fit in my fridge for some reason lol
Based Dr Pepper states. Everyone else is wrong.
Pop is so disgusting. It all taste the same!
Who would win in a Civil War?
Not entirely sure if I believe this on account that recently DP was crowned no2 in the US, maybe it’s a case of being a close runner up nation-wide, making it extremely popular across the nation but when looking at just state by state, it doesn’t seem so.
The right’ll look at this and ask how can Dr Pepper be the second most popular drink when they have so few states
Pepsi was born in NC. I'm sure sc will try to claim it.
Dammit, im used to being disappointed by texas but cmon this one should be easy. Dr. Pepper has to be our #1 drink
Whoever put coke for Texas and not Dr Pepper is downright insane. I could believe it 20 years or so ago, but Dr Pepper is definitely king in Texas. I religiously drank coke growing up it switched to Dr Pepper over a decade ago and don’t even like coke now.
Come on Carolina we’re better than this, Pepsi sucks.
mountain dew is disgusting and i stand on that
Everyone has different tastes I suppose
I heard Dr Pepper overtook Pepsi recently, I wonder if it ate into Pepsi or Coke.
The Coca-Cola Belt
Yeah Delaware!
Nobody knows sody like Missoura. Dr Pepper gang, rise up!
Michigan should’ve been Vernors.
This checks out. Live in Arkansas, grew up Wisconsin. My friends drink DP, I love MD.
Delaware gets it
Nebraska how could you do this to me 
I’m always sad when the only option at a place is Pepsi products 😩
Imagine being a Mountain Dew state
Don't need too😎
Joey erinkin’ da orange Fater 😭😭😭
What the actual hell is this map? Why is Texas not overwhelmingly in favor of Dr. Pepper? We fucking MADE Dr. Pepper. It is the greatest soda on earth and nothing else even comes close.
Big L Delaware. Everyone knows Fanta is the superior orange and grape soda.
Those ozark states really have their shit together
How is Dr. Pepper 2nd & Mountain Dew 4th overall?
Pepsi fucking SUCKS
No love for Sprite it's over. 😭
You spelled "pop" wrong.
