How harmful is Coke?

I once did an experiment by submerging a bronze coin in a bottle of coke and left it there for around a month. At the end of the experiment, all the markings of the coin were corroded by the acid from the coke! You would wonder what would happen to your intestines had you not had enzymes in your body.

Try out the Coke + Mentos experiement. Then you will see how harmful is the coke, nothing else explain it so well as the coke + the mentos.

Yeah the mentos will just be gone. That's how harmful Coke is. It's highly corrosive.

This mechanic guy told me that when you get that corrosive junk around your car battery, just use a can of Coke to clean it! I love Coke, and used to drink it all the time, so that totally freaked me out!

Yeah I think it may well be true. Coke is very acidic as far as I know. That's why I try to drink it only occasionally, even though I really like it.

The experiment you did convinced you of the harmful effects of coke on your body. It's very harmful to health.

I don't drink colas as it's harmful for health , provide zero nutrition and adds calories to your body and have pesticides in them.

did you see the latest coke and mentos video. You should watch it on how bad it is. It actually exploded if you put mentos in coke.

Public and the governemnt says pesticide contents are more Coke and Pepsi company says: pesticide contents are within allowable limit. Farmers in Karnataka and Andhra continue to consume more coke/pepsi - not for drinking but to use it as fertilizer. God knows who is telling the truth. Till it is clear, let us drink more pure water. It is good for health and good for purse too.

If you put tooth in a glass with coke and leave it for two days the tooth will be gone. We did this as an experiment in school. If it can make a tooth disappear then I don't think it's a good idea to drink it.
