Alright retards Atlantafag here, soft drinks are often referred to COLLECTIVELY as Cokes down here. So for example you might say you're going to the store to "buy some Cokes" and people would understand that you're buying soft drinks, not just specifically Coca Cola. In situations where specificity is required, you can't just say "Coke" unless you want a Coca Cola. Do you guys tell the waitress at a restaurant "I'll have a soda"? No because you have to fucking specify or else they're not gonna know what you fucking want. If you go to a restaurant here and say "I'll have a Coke" you will get a Coca Cola. If you want something else, you have to ask for something else. I have lived in this area my entire goddamn life and never once have I ever been asked "what kind?" when I say I want a Coke. Retarded ass meme that needs to die

i might refer to soft drinks in general as "a soda", but usually i'd refer to them by what they actually are. coke, sprite, mountain dew. i wouldn't intentionally refer to a non-coca cola thing as being coke, because of the ambiguity.
a sprite would never be referred to as a coke.
