It seemed every time we drove 100km, the yanks had a different name for cider (the alcoholic fermented drink, not fruit juice, although probably that too, seeing as "cider" sometimes meant nonfermented fresh fruit juice), a different name for fizzy drink and a different name for sausage...... and so on. The boundaries were definitely not along state borders. Etymology maps of the US must look peculiar.
