A large egg is 78 calories. Over the course of a year a single egg per day adds up to 8 lbls. However, many people are able to maintain a remarcably consistent weight without thinking about it.
This suggests that humans have an innate ability to regulate body weight. The obesity epidemic can't be explained by a simple calorie analysis; it needs to account for why our innate ability to regulate body weight isn't working.
At this point, I think it is pretty well established that added sugar is a significant culprit, so focusing on soda is still probably reasonable.

Modern processed food is far more calorie dense than our bodies "fullness" sensors are able to process, like a laser pointer with a cat. Some cats can't help themselves and lose their shit over them. Others can't be bothered.
