That will be the added weight of the sugar in the regular Coke. there are approximately 6 teaspoons of it. The sweetness in diet is from sweeteners, which require much less for the same taste, so weigh less.

The reason is a matter of which ingredients are mixed with different things, like diet coke has no sugar, but normal coke does. get my point.

Sugar content? If you're going on a cruise take diet coke as life preservers! They float! One in each hand and stuff them in your clothing - open them if you get thirsty - they taste marginally better than seawater!!!

I think it is because the liquid or the soda, weight less than the water that is surrounding it.
When you open a can, the water surrounding it enters inside the can, filling it up with the water of the same weight, adding more weight plus the weight of the can itself, so it sinks!

Regular coke is more dense because it is a sugar solution.
