    Missouri: Do you want a soda? (soda water means "carbonated")
    Iowa: Do you want a pop?
    Texas: Do you want a Coke?

    For example:

    Gimme a coke.
    What kind?
    7up.
    ok

    This seemed weird to mean that a brand name could represent the whole spectrum of carbonated beverages.

    You could also say, "Do you want a cola?"

    All of these will get you some soft drink. Oh yeah, that is another term. "Soft" meaning "no alcohol".

    Hobbes was brought up asking for soda.

    That is pretty weird

    Soft can also mean non-carbonated so I still say pop is the best generic term for a non-alcoholic carbonated beverage. I guess Wales has something in common with Iowa. Cool

    Mmmmmmm coffee... has to be filtered, preferrably Tim Horton's. Cream is better, milk will do in extreme situations.

    No, I would slowly walk away from a relationship with Iowa.

    Iowa is primarily an agricultural state. That means they f*ck sheep.

    Iowa is the Possil of the US.

    in fact twice cause I know how much you love this smiley

    I believe I shall now call it a 'non-alcoholic carbonated beverage', though I fear I may bit burned at the stake by the first shopkeeper I ask for such an item.

    On topic, I like coffe sweets etc but don't like coffee as a drink, sorry non alcoholic non carbonated hot beverage

    I've been sitting here racking my brain trying to think of a UK based example of using a brand name instead of the product.

    Cigarette papers:

    FFS, the Spar only had Swan Rizlas.
    Twat, Swan Rizlas are shit, they don't stick properly.
    I know but they didn't have any Rizla Rizlas
