Those have been my two favorite sodas for decades. Coca-Cola cherry and Dr Pepper. Both I think I had the first time at the end of the 90's when I went back to Poland on vacation to visit relatives. Now there are also those zero sugar variants.

It's true which is why the "zero" sugar stuff is becoming popular because really the "sugar" was the syrup base.
I moved to diet/zero soda a decade ago and now drinking a regular pop tastes like liquid pixie sticks.
By definition:
The "syrup" in pop historically refers to the liquid sugar component of it, where as in modern times it's a bit more colloquial where with substitutes and whatnot it's still "syrup" in industry parlance but isn't strictly a syrup.
Aspartame, flavouring, food colouring, water, co2 - the flavoring, colouring and aspartame does not strictly constitute a "syrup" simply because it's mixed together
lmao if you say so
ah, ok. You're right.
