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.

How do you order an actual coke in the south?
Redacted@lemmy.zip 4 days ago
“Ill have a coke” “What kind?” “Regular” or whatever you want, “pepsi”, “diet”, “dr pepper” etc
ChicoSuave@lemmy.world 4 days ago
The real question is “how do they order other sodas”. The answer is extra steps.
Feathercrown@lemmy.world 3 days ago
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.’”
