You sound like you're from Georgia. Only place I've heard of non-coke drinks described as Coke. 
Coke, pop, soda, soft drink. It's funny how this simple drink has so many names, just within the US.

Not Georgia, but close. This was typical conversation when I was back in the South.
Hey, you won’t a coke?......Yep, I could sure stand one.....Alright, what flavor you won’t ? ....... I’ll take the pepsi kind, if you got it.
And a VW bus is a ......Vokes wagging van or, alternatively, a Voltz wagging van
And camper buses are all Westa-feelya’s. And the guitarist for the British rock band Cream? That’s Erk Clampton, of course. |

Mandraks, I'm very familiar with US geography. but thanks for that. Never stopped in SC long enough to hear anyone refer to all carbonated drinks as coke, only GA. I figured that's common in GA since it's the home of Coke.

Same here in Alabama. It's funny the things you grow up hearing and thus say without giving a second thought until you are an adult and think to yourself "This really doesn't make sense."

I missed that the Bus on the right side was a 15-Window but I think someone was saying that's just a roof-top tent so hopefully no hacks.
