I don't pay attention to the sugar vs corn syrup thing because we both drink the sugarfree kind, but I have seen the increase/addition to the 10 calorie line (Dr Pepper 10, etc) and am baffled why it exists. Why go low calorie when no calorie already exists quite well? 10 calorie seems wishy washy.

I liked cherry soda best, but we could never find Cherry Crush, just grape orange and strawberry. Now I would probably have orange, its the only diet one...still don't see cherry much.
My dad had grape and orange around the most. In the glass bottles, of course.

Oh also there was Pepsi Light, which I do not think was diet, but a lemon Pepsi. this was before the ones that are flavored now. Pepsi Light in glass bottles! Bubble Up (which is sorta what Sierra Mist reminds me of, just a lemon lime) and Canada Dry ginger ale.
