Anyways, I have still yet to see why diet cokes does work better than regular coke (and yes, it does my friends) but some hypothesize that it has to do with the artificial sweeteners in the diet coke, as opposed to the natural sugar found in regular cola)
That would be the logical difference. Regular Coke has the equivalent of 10 teaspoons of sugar in a 12 oz can. They use mostly corn syrup now, but it raises the viscosity of the liquid.

Diet coke is more 'watery' (for lack of a better word) than regular Coke, so it does fizz better. The viscosity extreme would be trying to make a rocket from carbonated peanut butter.
