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

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.
