    So waiters don’t ask “what kind of coke do you want?”

    People at restaurants don’t ask waiters, “what kinds of coke do you have?”

    “I’ll have a coke”

    “What kind?”

    “Dr Pepper”

    Isn’t a real exchange that happens?

    Can we get a second opinion on this?

      texan here: yeah it’s more “a coke or something”, never “what kind of coke do you want”. like we forgot the generic word soda/cola collectively.
