I think there are simpler explanations. I imagine people like the way it tastes plus it's extremely cheap and takes very little time to prepare.

It's true to some extent but not the end of the story. For one thing, water is cheaper and more easily available than sodas.
As for marketing:

"In 2012, fast food restaurants spent $4.6 billion in total on all advertising, an 8% increase over 2009. For context, the biggest advertiser, McDonald's, spent 2.7 times as much to advertise its products as all fruit, vegetable, bottled water, and milk advertisers combined."
In the past in Europe, was fast food actually slow, expensive, and not that tasty?
