    “Ill have a coke” “What kind?” “Regular” or whatever you want, “pepsi”, “diet”, “dr pepper” etc

    The real question is “how do they order other sodas”. The answer is extra steps.

      I’d imagine you just say the name of the other soda. I don’t say “I’d like a soda Dr. Pepper” after all.

      “When I first come to America I wanted a cola and I say ‘cola?’ and they would be like ‘excuse me?’ and I say ‘cola. Cola. Cola!’ but it wasn’t cola; it was cock. Right? You would say ‘i want cock.’”

  Where was that? I was in Georgia for most of my life. Everyone I knew said Coke when they actually wanted a Coke. Soda was the generalized term.

      I can confirm this. I’ve graduated to just calling everything by its name brand at this point.
