What Happens When You Drink Coke

[PaulaJedi]

I go to the dentist about once every ten years. And the last two visits my dentist commented that my teeth seem to be worn down more than normal. That never registered till now. But it is quite possible that my excessive Coke consumption over the years could be the culprit behind the excessive wear down of my teeth.

I get a cleaning at the dentist every three months. It sounds to me like you don't, but I don't know. Do you?

The American dental system is expensive, even with insurance.

Soda can dissolve a rusty nail overnight... The same with a steak..

(I still love my Coke, although I try to drink mostly water these days.)

I heard that coke can be used to clean a toilet.

A colleague of mine who used to work in the food handling business told me something cool as well. When they had 2L Pepsi bottles that could no longer be sold/sent to their clients for some reason, they would use one to clean the clogged warehouse drains. ...They'd empty one down the drain and it worked! It helped keep the drains clean! LOL Crazy stuff.

2 tins a day.
Cut back to Coke Zero Cherry now.
Can't beat a full fat coke after exercise or the morning after a night on the beer though.

They use Coke to clean things such as car batteries, and other car parts.

Didn't know there were other practical applications to Coke for a car other than drinking it while driving!

Pesticide in the Fields: In India, some farmers use coca-cola instead of pesticides for pest termination, because it’s cheaper and the result is totally rewarding. It is said that the high sugar content of the drinks can make them efficient in fighting pests, which is of course denied by the company since they say that there is nothing in the drink that can be used as a pesticide. But the technique is an in-vogue trend in the Indian farming scenario.
