It is likely that either Diet Coke is pumped full of more carbon dioxide than its soda peers or its artificial sweeteners permit more carbon dioxide to dissolve in the liquid (once again by strengthening the surface tension).
I think its because regular Coke is so syrupy - it has a much higher viscosity - its more like carbonated corn syrup.
