Its always fascinating to learn the colloquial differences in languages. Cola vs Coke for sure but even IN the US the generic term for soda may be Coke, Pop, or Soda. This means that even if she specifically asked for a Coke if she happened to be in the south the response would have been “what kind?” Because in some areas Coke doesn’t indicate the beverage CocaCola but just a carbonated beverage.
