Now, if you go to the downtown restaurants, you'll hear "Do ya'll want Coke? Ok, what kind?" -like Coke means soft drink or something. I think that's a southern thing, however.
Maybe they do really mean what "kind of coke?"
There's what? 20 different varieties now?
Regular, Cherry, Vanilla, Diet, Diet Vanilla, Diet lemon...
I always laugh when I hear people over generalise brand names. For instance, all lemonade is 'Sprite'.
Down here we use 'Soft Drink' too, the only people who use 'soda' or 'pop' are tourists.
