I Love Seemingly Useless Information
Like this map of the US divided by what people in different regions call soft drinks: pop, soda, coke, or otherwise. I'm fascinated by how language changes over time and why it does or doesn't, and for the record I call soft drinks the name of the drink, and I prefer anything from Mexico (made with real sugar and not corn syrup, like they used to be), then Coke, then Dr. Pepper, then everything else. Can't stand cream soda, not a huge fan of root beer, and I refuse to drink Mountain Dew or any of the extra-caffeine potions they're selling these days. And Red Bull? Please.
