yes. in my opinion you should be concerned. if you got to it and was able to dry it right away and it is powered off, it might not have much affect, other than possibly sticky keys from the sugar. be sure to let it dry for at least 24 hours before powering it back on, though, and maybe longer, depending on how much pop was spilled.
I suggest taking it to a local repair place for cleaning, if possible, or if you are handy with such things - take it apart and try to clean it yourself.

We have this happen all the time on campus. Depending on what brand laptop you have this may or may not be a big deal, Gateway keyboards can hold a couple ounces of liquid before it will spill out onto the motherboard. Dell (which is what we have) are not as good about this, but are better in the newer models than the older ones (which vented heat through the keyboard, so it all went straight to the MOBO) IBM/Lenovo actually have a drain, and you can pour water through the keyboard while it's running (and yes we had to test that out when they gave us a demo to play with!)
If any of it may have gotten farther than the keyboard, you probably should not have it on, but have a tech look it over well and clean it out before turning it back on. If it all stayed in the keyboard, then your biggest problem will be sticky keys (unless of course it was diet, then that shouldn't be a problem without the sugar, it doesn't get sticky)

Most warranties would not cover this, unless you chose a total protection plan.
Wellll......... I said it could be shipped back for that, but I didn't say the warranty would cover it.
I know, I'm a stinker.
