Do you say pop, soda or coke when referring to a sweet carbonated beverage? Check out the maps charting the geographic preferences for these words.
Everyone around here says coke and the map agrees. But when I was a kid, I always thought it was goofy to ask, "What kind of coke do you want?" And then hear the response, "Dr. Pepper." So I started saying soda to avoid all of that foolishness.

And Cola is a brand name only.
I've never liked people calling everything "Coke", though I know it's common in the south. Like you, I just don't think it makes sense.
I had to give up Coke in my 20s because I was addicted to it. 7-8 glasses a day. I drink Diet Coke now. It's okay but it's not the real thing.
