It’s because it gets you high. They took the cocaine out almost a hundred years ago. You know why? It was redundant.



In The First 10 minutes: 10 teaspoons of sugar hit your system. (100% of your recommended daily intake.) You don’t immediately vomit from the overwhelming sweetness because phosphoric acid cuts the flavor allowing you to keep it down.
20 minutes: Your blood sugar spikes, causing an insulin burst. Your liver responds to this by turning any sugar it can get it’s hands on into fat. (There’s plenty of that at this particular moment)
40 minutes: Caffeine absorption is complete. Your pupils dialate, your blood pressure rises, as a response your livers dumps more sugar into your bloodstream. The adenosine receptors in your brain are now blocked preventing drowsiness.
45 minutes: Your body ups your dopamine production stimulating the pleasure centers of your brain. This is physically the same way heroin works, by the way.
>60 minutes: The phosphoric acid binds calcium, magnesium and zinc in your lower intestine, providing a further boost in metabolism. This is compounded by high doses of sugar and artificial sweeteners also increasing the urinary excretion of calcium.
>60 Minutes: The caffeine’s diuretic properties come into play. (It makes you have to pee.) It is now assured that you’ll evacuate the bonded calcium, magnesium and zinc that was headed to your bones as well as sodium, electrolyte and water.
>60 minutes: As the rave inside of you dies down you’ll start to have a sugar crash. You may become irritable and/or sluggish. You’ve also now, literally, pissed away all the water that was in the Coke. But not before infusing it with valuable nutrients your body could have used for things like even having the ability to hydrate your system or build strong bones and teeth.

It's good for studying. I don't drink that crap otherwise.

And yes I am a nerd.

if Coke's that bad... Imagine what Mountain Dew does to you...


they also forgot to explain what happens to the enamel on your teeth when you drink Coke

Cuz you are just such a spazz onstage.

My favorite (non-alcohol) drink...

Best combination of drugs ever is cocaine and Red Bull.

that's writen in such a retarded way.

" This is physically the same way heroin works, by the way. "

What a snoddy way to get the point accross. Conclusions like that can be drawn with anything.

It reminds me of those truth comercials: "Amonia is found in dog poop. tobacco companies add it to cigarettes"

Good thing soda sucks anyways, I see no reason why people drink it.

Milk, juice, and water for me.

hahah all you asians and native americans that can't drink milk!!!

You convinced me. More Cocaine less Coca Cola. It's safer that way.

I've been preaching this shit long before I quit soda two years ago. For the first six months after quiting cold turkey, I went through withdrawal symptoms. Now if I have just a sip I get nauseous and a headache. Also it no longer taste good to me, it's actually pretty gross.

I've been telling everyone this shit is just that... shit. I also tell people that they must be putting some addictive drug in it. People usually respond to that with "NO, they can't do that." I just say "Hey, this is a billion dollar industry here, don't think the FDA isn't against getting their palms greesed to let some extra ingrediants slide."

If I care about my body or mind I would drink alcohol or do drugs. So this isn't gonna stop me from drinking soda.

Yea, it's called........Caffeine

i try to always drink water but now that i work afternoons i stay up to late and i HAVE to put caffeine in my body to be any use to anyone at my job so i'll probably never be able to give it up altogether...

Wow, I am no longer drinking Coke or Pepsi after reading this thread.

I only really drink soda when I go out to eat at restaurants, aside from that, milk, juice, and water it is.

Shit ... I think I'm a coke fan now

root beer is the only soda i drink. of all the sodas available it causes the least amount of bodily damage, if any at all due to how natural it is. i almost never drink soda anyways, but something like Burger King cannot be washed down with water or milk. beer preferably but even that doesnt go well with BK.

coke ingredients are shipped to the factories in a truck covered in hazard signs. fun fact for you. also, if you put a tooth in coke overnight it will dissolve, as well as coke is a great way to get rust off anything. just leave it in coke overnight, no more rust, but it tastes sooo good.

Thank you Bill Nye.

thank you old timer

11th grade science

i watched this show on those tests, and it takes about a year for the tooth to decay, but it decays horribly. it also takes dried battery acid off of the terminal, and will partially degrease an engine.

Things like this are reasons why at my worst I treat myself to a coke once a month or so now. Water is the way to go.

No problem there kid.

woo hoo

hybrid said:

i've heard coke is or at least has been used to clean blood off the road by whoever takes care of that stuff after a bad car accident or something of the sort. and i still drink it. fuck.

never trust a junkie

no one ever says "i wanna be a junkie when i grow up"

Urband legends. I have a beautiful smile that says otherwise to Coke dissolving teeth.

Oh, if you drink a Coke at midnight and say "screaming fairy" three times while looking into a mirror you will turn gay.
