100 kcal/soda x 1 soda/day x 35 days = 1lb of body weight.

I'm currently slightly overweight at 220lb (6'4", BMI 26), and my current lifestyle exactly maintains my weight (varies from 220-225). If I drink 1 8 oz soda/day (I currently drink none), I would become obese in less than 3 years.

Granted, if I also eat brownies, soda won't be solely responsible. Doesn't mean that soda didn't contribute.
