No, it's too sweet because big soda brands are targeting Americans first and Americans just love too much sugar in all foods. There are plenty of non American sodas in Europe and they have only a fraction of sweetness.

Interesting, what's a common one that the average person would consider good?

Dalston's is amazing and is available in every supermarket in the UK. No sugar, no sweeteners, just carbonate fruit juice with some flavouring. One of my favourites.

Fentimans is a big soda brand and they do add sweeteners, but their drinks are nowhere as sweet as Coke etc.
