Definition of "a rum and coke"

Just a random question:

While flying in C/J the other day I ordered a "rum and coke" as my pre-dinner drink and expected either a glass with 1-2 ounces of rum topped up with coke (ice + lemon/lime being a bonus) or an empty glass, 1-2 miniature bottles and a can of coke.

However, I received a large glass of rum filled to the very top (~6 ounches / 180ml) and a glass of coke filled to the very top.

My first thought was "what the heck", but I´m wondering: Is there any place in the world where this would have been the standard?
