Those have been my two favorite sodas for decades. Coca-Cola cherry and Dr Pepper. Both I think I had the first time at the end of the 90's when I went back to Poland on vacation to visit relatives. Now there are also those zero sugar variants.

There needs to be a distinction between: sweetener syrup and sugar syrup. This is due to these things being different entirely. Sweeteners have low calorie content and low sugar content. Compared to sugar syrup which is a moderate calorie content and all so-called simple sugars. The use of regular sugar in fizzy drinks is considered "bad" because due to the amount of sugar dissolved in the drink, which is known for causing insulin spikes when consumed. Fizzy drinks with artificial sweeteners can also be considered bad due to allegations that the ingredient could cause cancer. It should also be stated that fizzy drinks contain acid that errode the teeth over long periods of consumption. ( https://www.diabetes.co.uk/diet-soft-drinks.html )
