Enterainingly (if not surprisingly), I got Boston. But there was no question on the quiz that dealt with the prominent Boston-accent R-dropping feature, the lack of which makes me sound more Midwestern or Canadian or prep-school-New-England or who-knows-what.

I vote "soda" too, but that was never in doubt. :)
