Look at the two most NWern counties of Arkansas. That's NWA. Notice the 80-100% "Coke". Now notice the abrupt change once you go into Oklahoma or Missouri.
We are where the South ends.
Soft drinks is one thing, but sugar has to be requested when ordering sweet tea in Missouri and Oklahoma and is brought separate of the glass in packets with a spoon.

I lived in Missouri. It is a little wierd. There can be two families living practically as neighbors in the same area. One family are nice and normal people. The other family is a bunch of fricking Yankees. Same area, same environment, with both families going back a 150 years in the same area. One is nice, the other is a bunch of fricking Yankees. That is just the way it is in the sticks of Missouri.
All that said, St. Louis is the obnoxious Yankee stronghold of the Midwest. As they say, St. Louis is the farthest west east coast city.

Honestly I call it soda because like a good Texas boy I hate coca cola and love Dr. Pepper.
Really, I just ask if they have any Dr. Pepper, not soda, coke, or pop.

Coca cola is absolute shite.
Texas is Dr. Pepper country.

I actually agree with you on this point. Not only is St. Louis mostly Catholic city slickers, they also have an entirely different accent than the rest of Missouri...and the midwest for that matter.
They pronounce "or" as "ar".
For example, they say "warsh the car" instead of "wash the car".
"Farty Four" instead "Forty Four" (I-44). I was driving on farty four the other day...
"Carn" instead of "Corn". Please pass the carn, thank you.
"Fark" instead of "Fork". Would you like a fark with that spoon?
"Barn" instead of "Born". The baby was barn yesterday.
"Star" instead of "store". If you're going to the star, please get some carn.
It's really weird. It's referred to as the St. Louis accent. It doesn't exist anywhere else in the midwest. The closest related accent is the Chicago accent.

The Civil War was 150 years ago, let it go.
I lived in Richmond, VA for 12 years and will always refer to them as yankees, but if want to try and convince me YALL are Southern, go for it. I won't be the one fighting a losing battle. If it makes you feel better, I consider Kentucky the north as well.
In my eyes the South is AR, TN, and NC south, and AR and LA east. TX is the southwest

Plus, St. Louis blights the world with lots of brown haired freckled faced women. I used to could pick out a girl from St. Louis in an entire crowd of women just by looking at her.
Many of them were actually cute in a perky sort of way. But they all looked alike.

I married a good looking brown haired freckled face gal from St. Louis.
I wouldn't say that St. Louis "blights" the world with them. More like "blesses" the world with good looking Catholic girls.
Most of those girls are hot and know how to party.

You really cant generalize Texas into one category.
Its geography and culture is very dynamic.

Thats funny, because I live near St. Louis (basically a suburb) and my area is a largely Confederate. There is even a road called 'Confederate Way' in a neighborhood next to mine.
And St. Louis is not anything like an East Coast city, I've never even heard such a remark before.
Its a lot like the Arkansas fan said, its mixed. But just because its mixed doesn't mean you should be totally ignorant to the history of Missouri.
And I find it funny that people fight true history with soda/pop maps.
Yes, Missouri is not a full fledged southern state, but it did fight for your cause, even long before and after your states ever did. That alone should get some respect from 'you people' (haha).
