In the 1970s a lot of zero calorie drinks came out, such as diet pepsi, diet coke, one cal etc it was for health reasons, because drinks like coke and pepsi contained a lot of sugar which is bad for you, but that was a load of crap, because they couldn't care less if sugar was bad for their customers.

The reason was the cost of the sugar, if they used sweeteners instead of sugar, it saved them a fortune in manufacturing costs, and made them a mint in profits
