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.
