My early childhood was spent in the New Orleans suburbs of Gretna and Harvey, so it's Coke.
To clarify, 7-up is clear, so if you were ordering a lemon-lime beverage, you'd say 7-up, even if they had Sprite. If you wanted something specific like a Dr. Pepper, or Root Beer, you'd have to call it out.
California has made one change in me. Into my 30's I'd order a Coke, the majority of restaurants cary Pepsi. I get asked "Is Pepsi ok?" so many times, sometimes I'll instinctively ask for a Pepsi.
Ironically, at the house, we drink neither Coke or Pepsi. Sherry prefers RC Cola. I drink Diet Rite. Not only is Diet Rite cheaper, but it doesn't have some of the side effects Diet Coke and Diet Pepsi have.
Hope the marketing people are scratching their heads over this one.
