Because fructose is better
Almost all soft drinks in the United States use high fructose corn syrup because domestic sugar subsidies make sugar more expensive than corn syrup.
It is the sweetener used in many carbonated beverages. High fructose corn syrup is as sweet as cane sugar but considerably cheaper in most cases. Coca-Cola and Pepsi also use HFCS in their products, as opposed to the "diet" or "no calorie" drinks that use artificial sweeteners or non-nutritive sugars instead.
Most soft drinks use high fructose corn syrup. Only a few use cane sugar.
