Pop or Soda or Coke or Other?

50-80% of the people in my county call all brands of soda "coke?" Hell, not any of the ones I know... About the only context in which that's even remotely acceptable is when you're talking about "the coke machine," but even then, the machine must actually carry Coca-Cola, and usually has a huge Coca-Cola ad covering the front of it.
