I'm sorry. (sniff) It's all our faults. (sniff) Will you forgive us? (sniff) We'll try to be nice! (sniff) We didn't mean to offend you, a new member. (sniff) Really. We will try to do better.
Oh! Forgive us, one and all.
Here -- want a coke? I have rootbeer, Orange Crush, RC Cola, and 7-Up. Which coke do you prefer?
Bwahahahaha!
Love you, newby!!

People who call it generically coke are crazy loonies of you ask me  It's the name of a kind of pop/soda for crying out loud! ha ha.
It doesn't make sense why one would label all soda after one soda.
That's like drinking Mountain Dew and calling it Sprite. Except, we've just run out of Sprite, so now I'm going to have to drink Sprite.

well it makes sense to me. 
Soda is something I bake with -- or put out fires with, more often as not.
Pop is the sound made when you smack something or open a bottle of champagne
Coke is something you drink, so...
On the flipside, don't ask for "coke" in the Caribbean. Youll get coke, but not the kind you wanted.

Well, ya just gotta understand! When I lived in Mississippi, my fourth grade class was taken on a tour of the CocaCola factory in 1959, and I learned that Coke was first made in the South, in 1884, by John Stith Pemberton, a druggist from Columbus, Georgia. Therefore, every pop from then on was coke.

Right, but most of us call them Band-aids, even if they were made by Curad, Topcare, etc.

Well, get ready for another shock! 
Around our house we generally call it soda pop or coke. However, when we are really puttin' our southern twang to it we refer to it as "sodie pop".

Or a facial tissue a "Kleenex", even if it was made by another company?
It's tissue, like toilet paper, paper towels, etc.
A kleenex is a disposable handkerchief, basically another term for tissue. Kleenex isn't just a brand, it's the literal tissue. Even if it were a different brand, it would still be a kleenex; an absorbent paper tissue.
This analogy doesn't really hold anything over the pop/soda/coke argument, because "coke" isn't anything outside of the Coca-Cola brand name, unless referring to cocaine.
It would be more logical to call any soft drink a "beverage".

I respectfully disagree.
"Coke" is a brand name of a soft drink.
"Kleenex is a brand name of a facial tissue.

I respectfully agree to the disagreement.
This is the definition I'm basing it off of:
kleen·ex
A piece of soft absorbent paper (usually two or more thin layers) used as a disposable handkerchief.

The company that makes Kleenex brand, as well as the company that makes Band-aid bandages, have fought hard legal battles to make sure that "Kleenex" does not become the generic name for disposable tissues and that "Band-aid" does not becoem the generic name for elastic bandages.
If they did become generic names, other companies could call their product Kleenex or Band-aid even thought they did nothing to promote that brand.
That is why the jingle now is: "I am stuck on Band-aid brand because Band-aid stuck on me."
I don't know if Coke has been so aggeressive, but I do know that Coke generraly fights for their trademarks.
The point, which has gotten lost, is that in much of the south "Coke" is the generic name for soft drink. I think that Abiyah explained why earlier.

And in Michigan we called it POP!!!

I just need to learn how to make a reasonable facsimile using soy milk and no sugar. Yeah. Right. That'll happen.
