They missed the Green dot in Charlotte where all of the yankees (including me) still refer to it as Pop.

Summer after I graduated hs me and my BIL worked a construction job as general laborers /electrician helpers. Our foreman was from Ohio/WV border.
Day one we took a lunch break and went to the canteen area at this plant we were working at, this Foreman who had a reputation as an asshole looked at my bro in law and said ‘Hey boy give me a pop and some nabs’

Apparently nabs is OhioYankee for crackers…

Neither of us was well versed or cultured…we both thought he said something about being hit in the balls….and I think BIL considers it for about 10 seconds…

Until he passed we still had an inside joke about a pop in the nads

I thought nabs was a Southern thing? I never heard that term until I moved down here. I was out with a friend and he said to go run into the store and grab some nabs. I was like wtf is a nab. My wife says it all the time and she was born and raised in Rocky Mount.

Naw. It's always been nabs for me, and I grew up here in the NC foothills. Oddly enough, I have a completely inverse story. Was doing a guided turkey hunt in KY on the Ohio River. We took a break and went to the store and the guide asked what I wanted. Told him a mountain dew and a pack of nabs. He got this confused look on his face and asked "what's a packanabs?". Not knowing them by any other description, it took my 13 year old brain a couple minutes to describe to him what I wanted.
 
I think nabs used to be more central/eastern NC. I hadn't really heard it until I started hanging around with people from Raleigh/Durham area. But I think it has made it's way around now.

Triad area and southern VA, it was Nabs and "COKE" regardless of it being a pepsi, Dr pepper, or RC

Unless you wanted a Dew. Cause Mt Dew is Mt Dew..it taint no coke

The person I first heard it from had roots in South Boston, VA and Durham, NC, so that totally checks out.
