Pop sure seems to have changed since I was little. I remember it being MUCH less sweet and so fizzy it almost hurt my throat to drink it. Nowadays, it seems kind of flat and syrupy to me, even over ice.
But anyhow, I never touch it either. It's on an ever-growing list of things I've given up as I grow older (wistful sigh)

The sweet taste of it still triggers the insulin release and causes weight gain.
Of course, diet soda tastes of chemicals, but regular drinkers of it seem to be able to ignore that.
Hard to get around water as a go to beverage.
