From NJ here and we call it soda. Calling it coke is just confusing in most cases, but i use it sometimes too. When i refer to a coke im refering to either coca-cola or pepsi though. I find it annoying when i order a "coke" and get back "what kind". It pissed me off, though, when i ask for a "coke" and they say "we dont have coke". I always end up asking "ok, what else do you have", the reply always being something like "well, we have pepsi, diet pepsi, etc etc". To me pepsi and coke are the same damn thing - cola. People look at you even more strangely if you order a cola though.
The coke-pepsi things gets really old really fast. The taste isnt really noticable at all if you dont pay attention to it. Not anything like the difference between regular and diet. Diet cola tastes like rancid ass to me.
