Soda, sweetened bread, and very sweet food in general aren't just automatically better tasting. To an extent, it's an acquired taste. When I was a kid I drank more soda than water. I still love the taste of Coke, but now that I don't drink it often, more than a small bottle is too much. It's not just Coke either--a lot of foods that I used to love are just too sweet now that I'm not acclimated to them. It's the same for many of my friends and family who are from other cultures that don't consume quite as much sugar as we do in the US--they think everything here is too sweet.
