Yuck!!! I never experience having colas with cockroach but I often heard stories about the way how it is made and all the dirty things that can be in there. I am not fond of drinking colas. Many people said it's bad for health and will make you sick.. specially if you are drinking much of it with an empty stomach. I avoid that.

I like it and drink a lot. But you can do other things with cola not just drinking it.Sure you can drink it, but use it for smoother legs or getting gum out?? How about cleaning your toilet?
For Smooth legs. Mix 1 teaspoon of coke with lotion. Apply generously.
Clean toilet rust. Pour a can of coke into your toilet. allow it to sit for about 20 minutes. Brush clean.
Remove oil stains.
Remove gum in your hair. Just dip your hair in a bowl filled with coke in it, it will come right out.
Remove carpet stains. Just let set a bit than scrub gently until stain is gone.
Coke syrup has been used for many years for treating upset stomach.
Clean your car battery from corrosion.
Do you know any other thing we can do with cola?

I've never thought this way before. Thanks now on in the future I'll stop drinking it.

Just wondering, doesn't the fact that it can be used for all these other things put you off actually drinking it? The fact that it's potent enough to remove rust from a toilet really doesn't make me want to pour it inside my stomach, lol!

OH GROSS!!! That is really sickening! I drink my soda from a can. I dont like the taste that cola gets from those plastic bottles. I loved the glass bottles and wish they would start using them again.

i do like to drink coke! but i only drink soft drinks once in a while, and sometimes drink it if i eat out. i dont think it's good to drink soft drinks everyday since it's a carbonated drink? besides, it has an awful lot of sugar content in it so i guess in a way it's bad for health. tastes good though!

I like to drink colas and still dot. But I have stopped drinking from the bottle. This happened sometime ago after I found a small piece of broken glass inside the bottle . This give the shivers to think what the broken piece of glass could have done to my intestines.

I never drink from the bottle, thank God I don't in these type of cases! .
I did have a similar experience with chocolate sprinkles that you can sprinkle on your slice of bread, they are pretty popular here. I liked them a lot as a kid but found a small piece of glass on my slice of bread and that scared me... a lot!
I daren't eat them anymore. Even though a cockroach is gross I don't think it would've been dangerous (disquisting, but not dangerous), glass on the other hand could've seriously injured the stomache and throat.
Both shouldn't be happening especially in large companies. I've hears stories about a piece of a rat being in a McDonald bugger and the girl saw it and (of course) vomited and sewed the place. Thank God I don't eat at McDonalds either!

I gave up colas aroung 6 months back. My sole reason was my gaining weight. 1 litre of pepsi contains 16 spoons of sugar. I have also heard of instances as you mentioned where some substance was found inside the bottle.

that would be horrible to find a cockroach in your drink. i almost daily have a diet coke from the bottle. 2x my sister bought a coke from a fast food place and when she took the lid off to eat the ice there was a moth in it. and she had been saying how good the coke tasted. we were shocked.

I drink Coke from the bottle and when I by a can I drink it from the can. I have never had an experience like that. But thank god that you caught that cockroach on time. That would have been really nasty.

No I don't. I pour mine out into a glass. The glass usually has ice in it. If I found a bottle icky like that,Imay switch to cans.

This is shocking to me. I know they sit in warehouses. I wash my tops and pour into cups. I never experienced this and you gave me one reason to always examine my cola.
