I'm from GA, and I never understood people calling all soda a coke. Giving someone a Pepsi when they asked for a coke is enough to start an altercation around here -- they are not at all considered interchangeable

I mean, I assume part of that standoffishness is simply local pride since Coca Cola is headquartered there.

You ever say "Scotch tape" when referring to a transparent tape that wasn't made by 3M?

Is it any different?

I've been asked if I want a coke before and was handed a diet ginger beer. in what world are those interchangeable?

It's like asking for a piece of Scotch tape and being handed a piece of painters tape
