They both appear to be steel (or at least magnetic) with Al tops.

Are the cans you are testing all aluminium or aluminium and steel?

However, practical experimentation shows that this does not apply with cans of 7-Up. (Haven't got any Coke easily to hand)

Both Diet and Regular SINK despite the fact that the Diet does not contain the 35g sugar which is present in the Regular.
A can of Regular weighs approx 5g more than the can of Diet  (both 330 ml).

What is providing the extra weight in the Diet 7-up?

I look forward to seeing more reports after the next weekend.

Just read article on useless information in our patient magazine.  Did you know a can of diet coke floats in water and a can of regular coke sinks.  So the next time you go to the take away and you are not sure who has the diet and who has the regular coke, ask for a bucket of water!  Apparently its down to the extra 39g of sugar in a can of regular coke.
