Lordy,lordy,,,im glad im poor and live in the south,,,,kids around here know that kind of thing,,,, 
except the imported yankee ones that call coke pop,? What the hell is pop anyway??? I never figgerd that out..............
ok being that i am one of them Ynakees that call "coke" "pop"
we will straighten something out here
coke = brand name
pop = product
if you walk into a restaurant and ask for a "coke" thats what kind of "pop" they will bring you
if you walk into that same restaurant and ask for a "pop" they will ask "what kind?"
if you go into that restaurant again and ask for a "soda" once again they will ask "what kind?"
as far as "what is pop anyway"
that goes way back to the days of the old soda fountains which were run by "soda jerks"
back then all "pop" was made at the counter when ordered,they used soda water along with flavoring to make your "soda pop" when you ordred it
pretty easy concept
i have family that was born and raised down south,and they make the same mistake ya'll did
it took some explaining for them to uderstand it too
not trying to belittle you or anything,but you did ask
