...I hate to dwell on this fizzy-drink thing, but are you guys saying you call
all fizzy/gassy/soda/pop beverages "Coke" regardles of actual brand or flavor..?

I'm with pest on this. He must be from the southern US. Almost
everyone in the southern states refer to any carbonated beverage as
"coke".
Example: I'm going to the coke machine. This could mean
Dr. Pepper, sprite, diet pepsi ect. No need to specify.
BUT if you are ordering a soft drink you need to specify
Example: I would like a hamburger and a Pepsi to drink.
If you said coke in that example, you would have specifically
wanted a coca-cola.
We never use the terms pop or soda. Never heard of fizzy drink.
You would get some weird looks if you said fizzy drink.
