This is coming from a born and raised Mississippian.

1) Generally if I'm refering to a carbonated drink, I'll just say Coke. But given the choices, I use soda.

2) I always called it was a water fountain.

3) I swear by "Duck Duck Goose" as well. I played it all the time in PE.

Illinois. Which is one state lower than Wisconsin but...

1) Pop.

2) Drinking fountain, but given the choices water fountain. (Bubbler? What the?)

3) "Duck Duck Goose" what else would it be? o_O

Tennessean here. Anyway:

1. pop

2. water fountain or just fountain

3. Duck, Duck, Goose.

Never heard of bubbler or grey duck before.

1). Most people in Cardiff call it pop as far as I know (and I think most people in Britain but I haven't lived all over Britain so don't know for sure), but in all honesty I prefer the word soda.

2). Water fountain, drinking fountain, both sound right to my ears. Bubbler sure doesn't though. I mean what the hell?

3). I've never played the game, but I've only ever heard it referred to as Duck Duck Goose

1) Pop. Like Nuch said I don't think anyone would use the term soda in the UK.

2) Water fountain or water cooler. The school calls them water coolers, but I usually call them water fountains.

3) Duck Duck Goose. Never heard of the other one.

EDIT: 4k 😀

1) Soda
2) A Bubbler
3)'Duck Duck Goose'

Oh aye I forgot about water cooler. Yeah, that one works too.

1. Soda - I used to call it pop until I worked at McDonald's when I was sixteen. It felt too unprofessional to call drinks 'pop's o.o
2. Water fountain - pretty much same reason, I just kind of felt like a child saying 'bubbla'.
3. Although I haven't played it forever, I remember calling it 'Duck Duck Gray Duck' probably just because of where I spent my childhood.

1) People here call it soda, but I don't see why everyone can't just call it "Soda pop."

2) Bubbler. Definitely, definitely, bubbler. That is the original name for the device since it was first patented and that is what it ought to be called. A water fountain is what you drink out of if you are a hobo. "Drinking fountain" is slightly more acceptable than "water fountain," I suppose, but Bubbler is the correct name as far as I'm concerned.

3) Duck, Duck, Goose... I've never heard it called anything else.

Born and raised in New Jersey, I am. Most of my family's here, as well, except for an uncle who lives in Florida with my youngest cousin. :p

1) I've always called it "soda." Except for cola, which I just call "cola."

2) "Water fountain" or "fountain." Bubbler doesn't sound right to me. o_o

3) "Duck Duck Goose." It's what I learned as a kid.

YAY! *hugs Antipode* Another weirdo

I did a little wiki'ing into the Duck Duck mess...

Duck Duck Gray Duck is played in the north central part of the United States, specifically Southern Minnesota/Twin Cities and surrounding areas.

heh... Wonder why only in Minnesota >>

Well I live in Georgia, but we call Soda, Soda. We refer to the machine that distributes water for free a Water Fountain, and finally, it's duck duck goose.

**giggles** Hiro, my dad grew up in Minneapolis, yet he swears by "soda" and doesn't conform to the Chicagoland's "pop".

1) Which answers this question. I call it pop.

2) **shudder** I can't imagine calling it a bubbler. It doesn't even bubble! It flows like a fountain. Hence, water fountain.

3) Duck Duck Goose all the way.

There are so many of these you can do this for; for example, is it a rotary, traffic circle, or roundabout? Is aunt pronounced "ant" or "ah-nt"? Diagonal or kitty-corner? Cops and Robbers vs. Cowboys and Indians?

(traffic circle, ant, diagonal, and cops/robbers, btw.)

1) Soda
2) Water Fountain. I had never heard ti called bubbler in my life
3) Duck Duck Goose, who the hell does it Duck Duck Grey Duck?

1) While I'm at work, its soda. Home, pop. Pop doesn't sound right to me, I often get in fights with my family if I call it soda.
2) Fountian.
3) Duck Duck Goose. Never heard of Duck Duck Grey Duck until this thread.

I live in Oklahom but was born in California, so my answers will reflect California

2) water fountain
3) duck duck goose.

1) Most popular in Darwin to call them soft drinks, really.

2) I've heard everyone I know of call them bubblers.

3) Duck Duck Goose FTW.

1) I've generally always called it "pop" for some reason.

2) ...bubbler? That's the first time I've heard that one... I've always called it a water fountain.

3) "grey duck", wtf... o_O "Duck Duck Goose" is what I've always heard.

Soda, Water Fountain, Duck Duck Goose.

1) Canadians outside of Toronto don't say "Soda" EVER.
2) I'm kind of weirded out by the phrase "bubbler" as well, so water fountain for me.
3) Goooooooooooooooooose.

lol @ Sagey... The question you should ask your father is, "Is it duck, duck, grey duck or goose?".

I told my dad about this thing this afternoon... He shock his head and said "It's duck, duck goose"... My little 6yr old brother piped in "You mean Duck Duck Grey Duck" XD

The more I think about it, I don't know what Minnesotas refer pop/soda as... The problem with me is, my parents are from Ohio, so I've probably inherited some of that...

Speaking as a member of Tony Blair's 51st state:

1. Pop or "fizzy drink", if I don't use a specific brand name.

2. Water fountain, but more usually "Drinking fountain".

3. Duck, duck, goose.
