That being said, I bought a couple of bottles (plastic sadly) of Orange Cream Coke a couple of days ago:
I rather like it. I've also enjoyed Cherry and Vanilla Coke and Pepsi in the past but these are seldom available.

How many elders or fat old people do you see drinking full sugar soda? I'd venture to guess almost none. How many are drinking diet coke? I'd venture to guess most of them.
Sugar is the leading killer of humans in the western world. Diet soda has saved more lives than you could ever imagine by helping people with heart disease or obesity related issues, by losing weight.
Literally everything causes cancer. Red meat is a level 2A carcinogenic while Aspartame is a lesser 2B.
The decades old conspiracy garbage that fake sugar is causing cancer at some crazy rates is complete trash and no studies have ever linked them to reality. When the complete opposite, drinking diet soda has been linked to helping with extreme weight loss and huge improvements in health.
