    coke it is, and the map was correct at least to our little county in Illinois on the Ohio River. Although it shows the counties right above us as something different - don't believe that.

    so when you want an actual coke, do you have to say "coke coke"?
    and like that... he's gone.

    over specific principles, goals, and policies.

    Ha! We say "real coke." No, not really just kidding. Some explanation required. At least in my case, here is an example:

    I am with my friends after a run. We decide to stop at the convenience store because we are thirstly. I say to my friends "I'm going to get a coke instead of water this morning."

    We are at a restaurent and the server asks us what we want to drink. Then we get specific. If you say coke then you are going to get coca-cola. If you want a Dr. Pepper you better say Dr. Pepper.

    So it is more in casual conversation that you refer to a soft drink as a "coke."

    If you look at the footnote on the map, apparently some places say "tonic" and stuff like that. Odd.

    In Illinois, most people I know call it "pop". When I moved to Wisconsin for a few years, everyone called it "soda". Go figure.
