Oh 7-up is a thing in Korean marinade for those cross cut beef ribs. I am a shameless romcom fan ( in good company with Michelle Obama ;))and one of them uses cherry-coke in a petit four to present to the incoming prince of Belgium 
Like other flavorings the sodas can bring an unexpected but vibrating note. Yes and coke in long cooked pork/beef is classic. Flavor is its own presenter - if it works it works. So sugar + fake flavor. No judgment. Heck most vanilla used is "fake".
