The first one: I agree. If somehow drinking a particular brand says something about the character, then damn well say so, but if the scene is not using the drink to say something about the character, you can just refer to it as "soda" or whichever culturally relevant name for carbonated drinks fits the setting.

I hate when someone uses a terribly awkward word for a body part when using the prosaic actual name for it will work just fine. I recall one fic that used "occulates" for eyes. I'd prefer to see the oft-hated "orbs" used instead of a terrible made-up, robotic-sounding word. Or of "orbs" is still too much trouble, how about just good old "eyes"?
