Yes - I can see where sugar water, of any kind, has residual benefits.
Organic growers have been using sugar solutions for quite a while to
increase plant health. Foliar sprays are absorbed through the leaves (I
use fish emulsion this way to add a nitrogen boost). As plants feed on
sugars, any sugar spray - used in limited quantities - should strengthen
the plant.
Long-term, I would expect that colas would pollute the plant's nutrient
load, however, due to the additives, caffeine, etc.
