A) of all, I really don't care for colas. B) of all, I seldom drink sodas at all. I like carbonation, but I get it from seltzer which I buy in 2 litre bottles. And, most importantly, C) of all, I strive to avoid ingesting high fructose corn syrup in ANYTHING. (And I don't do artificial sweeteners because, if the chemists who developed them are scared spitless of them, damned if I'm going to put them in my body!)

Soda (pop/tonic/sodapop) used to taste a heck of a lot better, too, in the '50s when there was a LOT more variety and the SUGAR sweetened drinks (and not that heavily sweetened) were served up in GLASS bottles. Yes, it DOES make a difference.
