I love my coke!
all of the myths "against" coke are "completely" wrong.
especially the one that coke erodes your stomach because of the acid in the coke...no it doesnt!

Here's a useless fact I had found when doing a report for cocain in 8th grade. The early version of coca cola (late 1800s I think) contained coca leaves and some people had used the soft drink as a "cure all" drug.
Also, the "syrup" form of coke is a plain bitch to clean up after a good 40 gallons explodes from a 75 gallon tank. ;-\ It will not was out of long hair right away....

Yes its very true someone argued with me once that this was a myth. It's not by a long shot. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coca-Cola I remember when my dad first told me I said it wasn't true also, then I researched it in the library. It was like the snake oil tonics you see sold out of wagons in old movies. Cure for all that ails you. Caffeine wasn't the first hook.
The coca cola syrup in the old days of 'soda fountains' was often sold separately. When they were mixed on the spot not automatically by machines, people wanted the syrup because it supposedly settled your stomach. Used for digestive and colic problems taken by the spoonful like cough syrup. ewww.
Let me reiterate, I gave up sodas when I saw how it cleaned off my battery acid build up on my trucks battery.
That scared me lol. LL
same here, hah.

I like pepsi better than cooke, but I hardly ever drink either. When I was younger and was working in a fast food joint while in school and just after graduating, I would drink about 8-9 glasses of coke a day. Then one day my boss was telling us about how bad Coke and Pepsi is for your bodys, I still drank lots of it.
Now that I am not working in fast food and I dont get free glasses of pop everyday, I hardly drink pop. Usually on special occasions, like a birthday or when I go out with my friends, and I am the Designated Driver

Mythbusters did an episode on the myths of Coke. All of them were busted with the exception of cleaning oil stains on your driveway.
All cola's are vile. :eek:
I've never read so much shite in my life. ROFL!! Drink 8 bottles of coke and die on the spot? LOL! Dissolve teeth and bones? LOL! Some folk will believe anything just because some moron read it on the internet.
First of all, cola drinks are basically just aqueous (water) solutions of sugar and phosphoric acid, not citric acid which was what the original post said.
Coke may have a pH of about 3, although I've not tested it, but stomach acid has a pH of 1 and we seem to be doing ok carrying that around with us.
Know what else has a pH of about 3? Apples!! Some orange juices too. Cranberry juice, which is supposed to be very good for you, has a pH of around 2.
The reason coke is bad for your teeth is because of all the sugar in it, which feeds the bacteria on your teeth which then produce corrosive acids. Have a bottle of coke, wait for 2 hours before having anything else sugary and your teeth will be in the same condition they were before you drank the coke.
I dunno...learn some science FFS!

Then the show must not have include batteries.
Sorry, but some years back I used coke on my corroded battery cables in my truck. They were so puffed with stuff it was green even. Poured slowly a dab at a time It ate it off clean. When we disconnected them to wipe, nothing was on it. I know it works and much better than the old way I had done it with baking soda. So :dunno:

Many people think Coke works for cleaning things from rust.
But thats not true!
You cant clean "real" rust. Especially not with coke. Because rust isnt actually there.
Rust are holes in metal. the things you can "clean" with coke on batteries is only (on the surface <- ?) and mosty some kind of oxidation.
These are things you can clean with many things and not just coke.

I never once mentioned rust. I was speaking of battery acid buildup and metal corrosion in general, under and around the cable hookup. I am very aware of what oxidation is and that's not at all what I meant.
