<p>Grew up in Levittown, Pa which is outside of Philly. Have lived in California since 1977. I am 53 and proud of it! : )</p>

<p>My kids are native Californians and they call it soda as does my Long Island born Husband</p>

<p>KarmaFairy, maybe it’s regional, but a family room is sort of like a den. It’s where the family hangs out, where we keep the TV, and is usually attached to or near the kitchen. The living room is more like a parlor. It’s more formal, it’s usually near the front door and is adjacent to the formal dining room.</p>

<p>Spent a lot of summers in NY with family where we had to make the switch to ‘soda’. Didn’t realize coke was used non-specifically anywhere, like kleenex and tissue I guess. The things you learn at this site!</p>
