If you put a nail into a can of Coke, it will dissolve in 4 days. Not sure if Pepsi will do the same thing, but I wouldn't be surprised.

According to this page the oxide film that normally protects aluminum from corrosion would not function inside a coke can due to pH and lack of oxygen. So, if coke were really that strong, then it would toast the can too. http://corrosion-doctors.org/MatSelect/corralumin.htm - http://corrosion-doctors.org/MatSelect/corralumin.htm |

^ I recently stayed in a hotel where water was £5 a bottle - it comes to something when beer is cheaper than water.
Anyway, I can tell the difference betwix Coke & Pepsi, but couldn't tell you which was which and have no preference - they are both pretty rank if you stop and actually taste what you are glugging - I only drink them when I'm "designated driver" and most pubs and clubs sell that reconstituted syrup muck "on tap" that tastes like soap anyway.

Thumbs up for Cockta!!  The drink of my youth!It's the best cola for making a bambus (bamboo). Bamboo is no.1 drink when going to party somewhere on the Croatian coast! Some people may be drinking beer, some will drink wine, some will drink some soft drinks..but 'bamboo' is a mixture of red (sometimes white) wine with cola in a any ratio from 1:4 to 3:4, up to personal taste. Some people are drinking 'white bambus' which is white wine with Fanta, but I don't like it that much. |

They are both bad news along with most soft drinks. If you do drink them make sure you don't take vitamin C. Both Coke and Pepsi contain sodium benzoate. When you mix ascorbic acid (vitamin C) with sodium benzoate you get benzine. Benzine is a petroleum product. Defination for benzine from 'Answers.com' "A colorless, flammable, liquid aromatic hydrocarbon, C6H6, derived from petroleum and used in or to manufacture a wide variety of chemical products, including DDT, detergents, insecticides, and motor fuels. Also called benzine, benzol." |
Posted By: Dean
Date Posted: May 22 2009 at 02:14
The chemical reaction would produce benzene, not benzine, and is a result of the action of heat and light. Wiki:
"Benzine should not be confused with http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benzene - benzene . Benzine is a mixture of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alkanes - alkanes , e.g., http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pentane - pentane , http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hexane - hexane , and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heptane - heptane , whereas http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benzene - benzene is a cyclic, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aromatic_hydrocarbon - aromatic hydrocarbon , C6H6."
Also from Answers.com:
"Benzine is not the same as Benzene.
Benzine is a petroleum distilate, a mixture of organic chemicals derived by distilling petroleum, with boiling points within a defined range. Benzene in a single aromatic hydrocarbon (C6H6)"

I think that it's generally wise not to drink "sugar water" when you're thirsty. I doubt that the caffeine is a problem, there are even studies which show that it can prevent heart problems. I used to drink a lot of diet coke ... but I don't anymore because I want to avoid sweeteners since they mess with the insulin regulation. My drink of choice is currently iced tea with low levels of sugar (250 calories per liter, regular cola has about twice as many calories) - or pure water. And if you can't live without the taste of cola - drink a small glass from time to time. Only drinking it occasionally even adds to the experience (at least for me).  ------------- https://tagyourmusic.org/users/Mike" rel="nofollow - https://tagyourmusic.org/users/Mike |
