Pepsi slides out of top three selling sodas!

I'm not much of a soda drinker, but saw this article and figured it would be of interest to some here. It is a pretty tight race after Coke, with Dr. Pepper, Sprite and Pepsi within less than 4 tenths of a point of each other.

The most recent statistics, covering the period through the end of 2024, show that Coke maintains 19.1 percent of the market. Dr. Pepper is the second most dominant soda with 8.3 percent, followed by Sprite, 8.03 percent, and Pepsi coming in fourth with 7.97 percent.


And the good news...

Overall, people are drinking less soda. The number of internet users who said they'd had a regular cola in the past three months dropped from 47% to 43%, between 2022 and 2023.

...I'd say probably yes diet varieties are included.
There are several references to diet & zero varieties and their successes.
It doesn't say so, specifically, but I'm left with the impression that's it's the brand name that's being measured.
