Pretty sure this is a brand new feature, or at least it wasn't as easy to do before as it is now. Pretty simple question: what region has the best sodas to collect, the north or the south? There's great states for collecting sodas in both, Georgia, Massachusetts, the Carolinas, NY off the top of my head, but I'm sure people have their preferences/personal opinions. Let's put it to a poll! I've made voting anonymous but feel free to defend your position below.

Huh. 133 views, but only 9 votes. "No Preference" seems to be leading the poll. :)

I would have polled:
  • the whole U.S.,
  • northern states,
  • southern states,
  • eastern states,
  • western states,
  • just my state,
  • just my county,
  • just my town.

It depends. In general, I love the South, and bottles from the South. However, I'm devoting most of my time now to collect Schuylkill County Pennsylvania bottles, so I guess both maybe.

I don't collect bottles from either, so I have no real stake in this one. But it does seem like the North, or really Northeast, has a much wider variety of earlier sodas and greater diversity of colours and bottle types, as well as greater availability of early sodas in general. So I think I'd prefer to collect North(east)ern bottles, although I'm no completionist, and if I was the more limited number of Southern bottles would probably offer some of its own appeal.

The way I look at it the grass is always greener. Familiarity gets boring. Sick of the same old stuff. I look at all the other regions of the U.S.A. and Canada and envy the stuff you have. I love new things. Sure they find unseen bottle everyday. I still love the collection I have, just my thoughts on this subject.
