The south is emphatically wrong on so much shit but calling soda/pop "coke" is somehow at the top of my list

Call all ice cream vanilla, or all cereal corn flakes, or all alcohol beer why the fuck not

Coke is neither a brand name nor a flavour. The brand is Coca-Cola and the flavour is cola.

I always assumed the word coke is derived from coca(-cola)
