Is there even a difference?

Coke and Pepsi contain caffeine, Sprite does not so will be marginally better for you. Its much better if you get the lite/diet versions

Just to say one is more unhealthy than the other doesn't give you exactly why. Sprite is less unhealthy than Pepsi or Coke. Here is some info you might find helpful:
Soft drinks have long been suspected of leading to lower calcium levels
and higher phosphate levels in the blood. When phosphate levels are high and
calcium levels are low, calcium is pulled out of the bones. The phosphate
content of soft drinks like Coca -Cola and Pepsi is very high, and they
contain virtually no calcium.
The United States ranks first among countries in soft drink consumption.
The per-capita consumption of soft drinks is in excess of 150 quarts per
year, or about three quarts per week.
Cola soft drinks are very high in bone-dissolving
phosphorus.

None of them are healthy but a clear soda is better then having a dark one. So Sprite is better then having a Pepsi or a Coke.

The diet kinds are better for you...don't have sugar or corn syrup.
But coke/pepsi caffeine (sprite doesn't, so that's good), and you shouldn't exceed 300 mg. of caffeine daily (that's like 3 small cups of coffee).
Since I don't have any of those drinks on hand right now, I can't tell you their nutritional value, but yes, there is a difference between them.

In this order, first sprite is the best, then coke due to the caffeine, and then Pepsi due to the caffeine and it has more sugar than the coke.

If you had to choose between the two, sprite is better for you. Coke is harmful to your body (remember the science experiment with coke...where did the teeth go?). It melts away everything. Ive heard stories about poeple using coke to clean golf clubs because it really works and helps DISSOLVE dirt. So in bodies, it will dissolve your stomach, tract, teeth..etc...

They are both unhealthy, but I would go for Sprite. It has less potential to stain your teeth. Also, Sprite does not have caffeine.
