Coke isn't limited to sugary coke.

Try telling a picture of diet coke from regular coke apart.

Invent me a cup that tells me if my Diet Coke is actually Regular Coke, then we can talk

There's difference between "no sweeties" and regular cola drinking :P

Because people drink coke instead of drinking water with sugar mixed.

Pepsi and Coke issue has been solved as there are multiple cola brands with store label or no label. You can buy cheaper cola and you do not need to buy Coke/Pepsi.

Sounds like you should put down the Coke. ;-)

Is it really more than a can of coke?

Are we lacking in brands of soda?

Two months without Coke and I can’t taste the difference between Coke and Pepsi anymore
