(Actually, in Canada we never call our pop or soft drinks "soda",
unless of course it is (club) soda (water)  (pick one))

My assertion: most diners are indifferent to the brand of pop they get.
Usually they just want a cola, or a white pop, etc.

If I ran a restaurant, I would find it convenient to buy all my pop
from one bottler/distributor.  Therefore, you see Coke and Sprite
together, rather than Coke and 7-Up.

Some restaurants offer a wider selection because they think that the
extra trouble is worth it.  If you don't like the selection, mention that
to your waiter/waitress and ask that they mention it to the manager.
