There are all sorts of "soup-like" dishes that folks call "chili".  When I was a kid, the term "coke" meant soft drink.  It might be Sprite or Nehi or Mt. Doo.

They were all cokes.

Coke probably means something different in Miami.

Yup in most of Texas, coke was a generic term for soft drink/pop/soda.  I think that's changing though, and largely because kids these days aren't drinking nearly as much coke.

Had a few transplants through the years offer me a can of pop. I had no idea what they were referring to the first time or two.

Many of them aren't drinking soft drinks at all, anymore.  Nobody is going to call an energy drink a coke, for whatever reason.  Just soda pops, I guess.

Yup, same here for Texico, at least when I was growing up.

"Hey everybody, I'm going to the corner store to grab some cokes before the game starts.  Anybody want one?"

"Sure!"

"Ok, what do you want?"

"I'll take a Dr. Pepper, thanks!"

Got rid of the wasted words for ya.

Around here, if I order a Coke, I'm getting a Coke.
