Which is basically the same since 1g of water is 1ml.

In water yes, but not in sodas.

The difference is quite small though right? Since a soda is still largely just water with sugar in it.

I would guess about 4% heavier with sugar, which is just enough so that a can of Dr. Pepper sinks while a diet can of Dr. Pepper floats. I think I recall the specific gravity of most sugar flavored soda was around 1.04 but I would need to check sources.

Why? Because it’s slightly heavier with all the sugar in it?

Of water, yes, but not of sugar.
ebits21@lemmy.ca 10 months ago
Yes but I figured a pretty good approximation. I’m actually curious how much of a difference it would actually make.

A quick google says you can dissolve up to 2g of sugar in 1g of water, so a pretty big difference apparently
