I tell you I do not like to take Coke or Pepse at all. Wherever I am offered it, I simply refused, untill and unless there is no other escape route. I prefer taking other soft drinks such as Maaza or Frooti or Nimbu Pani would be fine for me.

i used to drink lot of coke even after knowing that its not that good to drink it regularly, i heard that people who driknk coke regularly has chances of developing pot bellies. And now after reading your posts my doubts have been confirmed and now i'll always remember ur this message before buying coke or pepsi. But again when u are really hungry and there is nothing else available which is safe to drink we have no other choice other than to drink this poison which only augments ur thirst rather than quenching it!

Dear Touchshine,
Thanx for the tips.....But I like the first tips very much...This drink we can use to shine the toilet bowl.
It is cheap also when compared to the other cleaning products. But from your tips it is ver clear that Coco Cola can be used as a very good ckeaning agent rather than a very good drink.....Thanx for the tips

Hi touchnshine! Thank you for sharing this information. I really appreciate what I learned about coca cola. I am really interested in using it for my pot roast. However, I am not really a regular soda drinker. Just my thoughts dear friend! Take care and have a nice day!

Thanx for the tips...I have trouble keeping my grout in my shower free from mildew because my bathroom is so damp ...i'm going to give it a try. I haven't drank this stuff since we did an experiement in elementary school...the nail experiment and the point was to teach us how quickly it could decay a tooth.

And coca-cola company doenst wat you do with the product they just want to people to buy it.
I seriously dont think you are speaking the true.
If you show me some photos i will take your side.
But for just making sentences without evidence it is not correct!
