This pair of maps is going viral again (FYI they're not based on real data, just vibes, but they do *feel* about right).
But as far as I can tell everyone's missing the intended black humor here that these are a clear reference to the maps of Palestinian land loss since 1947 that were ubiquitous six months ago.

The 1947 to 2023 Pop vs Soda map currently rending on Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/MapPorn/comments/1cdnb7i/the_word_soda_takes_over/
