Main ingredient difference is Diet Pepsi doesn't contain High Fructose Corn Syrup and regular Pepsi does thus, regular pepsi sinks, and diet pepsi does not sink because of the different densities. Same thing will happen with almost any soda product. Same principle with a boat on salt water compared with fresh water. The boat will sit lower in the fresh water because without the salt it displaces more water than with the boat in salt water.
The regular soda sinks because it requires a large amount of sweetener, which makes the liquid in the can heavier. The Diet Soda floats because the small amount of sweetener isn't enough the make the can, liquid, and air in the can heavier than water.
The only difference between diet soda and regular soda is the sweetener. Diet soda uses calorie-free artificial sweeteners instead of sugar. The sweeteners used in diet soda are usually much sweeter than sugar. For example, Aspartame is 200 times sweeter than sugar. So diet soda doesn't need as much of a sweetener to make it sweet. The regular soda sinks because it requires a large amount of sweetener, which makes the liquid heavier. The diet soda floats because the small amount of sweetener isn't enough the make the can, liquid, and air in the can heavier than water.
It is because Diet Coke has less sugar and density, but the original coke has tons of sugar and more density.
Evidentally they have different specific gravities. both are fluids.
Liquid density. Most likely due to sugar content but also due to additives

Will a diet pepsi float or sink in water?
Yes
Does regular Pepsi sink or float?
if you toss a can of pepsi in a tank of water it will sink. the higher density is attributed to the 40 something grams of sugar they have dissolved in pepsi
When a can of Pepsi and diet Pepsi are dropped in a tank of room temperature water why does diet Pepsi float and Pepsi doesn't?
Because the high sugar content in regular coke makes it more dense. Diet sodas in general are less dense because the artificial sweetener used is much much sweeter than sugar, and so it is not necessary to add nearly as much (about 10 times less). So diet sodas are less dense than regular soda, and a can of diet soda will float in water but not regular.
Why will diet pop float but regular will not?
Diet pop contains artificial sweeteners that are less dense than sugar, causing a lower overall density in the liquid. Regular pop, on the other hand, is denser due to the presence of sugar, causing it to sink in water. This difference in density makes diet pop more buoyant and likely to float, while regular pop will sink.
Will a raisin sink or float the fastest on carbonated waterdiet sodaor regular soda?
A raisin will float the fastest on regular soda, followed by diet soda, and then carbonated water. This is because regular soda has the highest sugar content which makes it the most buoyant, while carbonated water has the least amount of sugar.
Why does regular coke sink but Diet Coke floats?
Diet coke is less dense than regular coke.
What is the relationship between mass and volume of sugar soda and diet soda?
I remember in 8th grade we did an experiement with this. Get an empty fish aquarium and fill it with water. Get a can pepsi, and a can diet pepsi. Drop both in at the same time. Which One Floats? The diet will. The Pepsi will sink tot he bottom. So there is a big difference.
Do clothes float or sink?
it will float as long as it is not fully covered water.
Objects float or sink because of their density and not because of their weight?
If you have a Non Diet Soda and a Diet Soda the Diet Soda will float because it is less dense (use aluminum if you can) Since water has the density of 1, any thing with the density smaller than water will float. Anything more than 1 will sink. Occasionally, you may come across something that will be suspended somewhere in the middle.
