People not from the South don't understand "Coke". Everything counts under the "Coke" statement. I often explain it to others like Q-Tips. You ask for a Q-Tip you don't always want the name brand, or Cleenex you don't care if it's a Generic brand.

This is how it goes down in real life:

Hey yall want something to drink?

Sure, got any cokes?

Yeah, we got Sprite, Root Beer, and Coke

I'll take a Root Beer, thanks.

Just because you ask for / offer a Coke doesn't mean that's all that's available.
