I had friends from the south and would ask me if I wanted a coke, but would bring everything but a coke.

And we still say pop in the PNW.

I’ve heard that if you order a “Coke” in the area that says “Coke”, they’ll just give you a random soda and you have to drink it no matter what it is. That just seems plain wrong to me.

No-it’s would you like a Coke? Sure. I’ll have a Double Cola.

For those of you who do not understand calling it coke: where do you put your soda / pop to keep it cold? A refrigerator or an ice box?

I guess Dallas is the little bubble in Texas that uses soda. I've traveled pretty extensively through "coke" country and have yet to actually hear it.

I do remember some of the adults calling it pop when I was a kid in California. I seem to recall that pop/soda were almost interchangeable.
