It's "coke", of course, no matter what carbonated beverage you're drinking, because why else would you drink any other kind of carbonated soft drink? (Aside from seltzer or club soda.) Of course, this is a problem when you ask for a coke and they bring you a Pepsi. This is on par with the horribleness of requesting iced tea and receiving some flavored monstrosity instead of a simple holy infusion of camellia sinensis.
