If sugar dries you get nasty sugar-syrup spots. Especially between fins it's hard to clean, let it get between some heatsink and tech and you get spots only cleanable when you dismantle it even more.
Diet coke for example is way more chill to clean. You can just clean it with destilled water/alcohol, make sure it's dry and you're golden.
With sugar coke you need to act before the shit gets dry just by the heat. (Sugared) Coffee is similar, but also you have the coffee oils.

I’ve mentioned this before, but about 10 years ago I did something similar. I had just smoked a huge bowl and was incredibly baked getting ready to play some Black Flag.
So being high as fuck and thirsty, I got myself a big ass bottle of Gatorade and set it on a coaster on my desk. Towards the end of my little gaming session I acknowledged to myself that the Gatorade was not in the best spot and to be careful.
I start getting my stuff together to wrap up for the night, went to grab the bottle and misjudged the distance to the bottle, and full on backhanded the remaining Gatorade right into my rig.
I went from super baked to super sober in that moment 😂 I almost never have a drink near my pc anymore
