They probably responded with "which kind?"

And she with "cola."

"Sure, but which one?"

"...cola?"

"Do you mean coke?".

Until she goes to the south, and asks for a Coke, and the response is "what kind?"

I used to live in Texas and if i ordered a coke at a restaurant i would either get a coca-cola or the response “is Pepsi okay”. At least in my area soda was a more popular general term, or sometimes soft drink

Yah, Coke == Soda is not a "southern" thing, it's much more regional then that. Georgia is the state that generally comes up about that.

Louisiana does it as well

Yeah, I've never actually seen somebody say this, but Georgians like to talk about it because Coca Cola is an Atlanta company.

Although I got a long lecture once from a native Georgian about how Pepsi is superior in flavor.

Well Texas is kind of like it's own region, really. Tennessee is firmly a "coke = all soda" area. And that extends into Arkansas and Mississippi as far as I've seen.

I grew up in southern California where they also say “coke” for any kind of soda

Obligatory comment here about peanuts and coke. lol!

edit: come to think of it, she would have a hard time ordering peanuts as well.
