Not as sweet as Pepsi actually...which is at least partially why I THINK
Miss P prefer its.

Here's her actual quote:

"These days Alex gets a glass mid afternoon at school as it raises his 
attention level for the afternoon (otherwise he "fades" and gets sleepy). In 
my opinion giving him a glass of coke is better than giving him a stimulant 
like dex or ritalin. Alex has been diagnosed with ADD (not HD) secondary 
they believe to hypoxic incidents from the apneas and I choose to use Coca 
Cola rather than heavy duty meds - at least for now."

My preference too.....
