Still less weird than all those bourgeois that call everything by the brand name.
“Ooh, but it’s a different chemical compound, look at me, I’m so important!” I DON’T CARE! If it’s a powder and it’s white, it gets the same name as everything else.
I’ll die on this hill - no one calls everything Coke and those who claim so haven’t been in the South especially the area around Atlanta. “Coke” is used as an example - for instance, “Hey, can I get you anything? Coke, beer, water, or something?” Yes, they mean they have soda one of which is coke. No one would say, “hey, can you get me a coke” and mean Sprite / etc. At most, they may use it to mean coca-cola products but usually you’ll get a list of which sodas they have and are offering
You ask if they have coke and they will say “is Pepsi fine?” Then you can say “Yes I’ll take a Sprite” and get Starry.
Like you can’t order a sprite without saying sprite. You cannot be like “I’ll take a soda” and expect sprite. Same with saying coke. You have to elaborate.
You could ask for a “coke” and accept any soda. But you’re not really calling what they are giving you coke. You just wanted any soda.
And then there’s the weirdos who call everything Coke.

Who would win: people who call every soda “Coke” or moms who call every console “Nintendo”?
Moms 10 times out of 10, no contest
I’ll accept either “soda” or “pop”, but I will never accept those “everything is a coke” freaks
