About This Study

Methodology

To determine the most popular soda in each state, Holiday Calendar conducted an online survey of 3,000 Americans between May 25th and June 2nd, 2024. Respondents were recruited through a nationally representative online panel and screened to include adults aged 18 and older who reported consuming carbonated soft drinks at least once per month. The sample was distributed across all 50 states and Washington, D.C., with demographic quotas for age, gender, and household income. Respondents were presented with a list of 25 nationally distributed soda brands covering colas, citrus, root beer, and other popular varieties, and asked to select their single favorite. An open-ended write-in option was available for regional or unlisted brands. State-level winners were determined by plurality vote. The survey has an overall margin of error of ±1.8 percentage points at a 95% confidence level.
