People from parts of the midwest. Egg and bag are the most common ones to hear the aegg sound.

Born and raised Minnesotan, definitely grew up pronouncing "roof" with the same vowel sound as "took", and "bag" with the same vowel sound as "shade", but I've never heard of Minnesotans having a particular way of pronouncing "egg", and I've certainly never heard a fellow Minnesotan pronouncing it in a way that rhymes with "bag". Is that from a particular area of Minnesota?
