But Steph! Have you ever put a PENNY IN A COKE????????

Or CLEANED A CAR BATTERY WITH IT?!?!?! I know, I know. What am I thinking, with the logic and such?

But Steph! Have you ever put a PENNY IN A COKE????????

It doesn't any ANY flavor. Waste of time.

Coke is also good for cleaning dirty windshields.

I imagine other soft drinks would be, too, but Coke is the only one I've heard of or tried.

Actually... when a baby eats a penny, does it come out clean??? (I mean, not immediately clean, obviously, but shiny after rinsing?)

I am waiting for my mother to pick me up and then I'm on vacation! For two days. But still!

Oh, I forgot about Fresca. I like Fresca and also the "50/50" polar grapefruit soda. But I am truly not expecting to get those things at my place of work (except maybe at the convenience store inside the hospital)

So I pointed out that the human body actually produces acid In! Your! Stomach! to digest food, and it's Way! More! Acidic! than Coke, and our stomachs seem to handle that just fine.

It is actually pretty bad for your teeth.

Which clearly she had no idea so your triumph STANDS.

Regular Coke over Pepsi, but Diet Pepsi over Diet Coke.

This is probably me, too, although I haven't had regular soda in so long, I can't really drink it anymore. Diet Coke really does take like nothing but chemicals to me. If I can get it with the lime, it's not too bad, though.

We waited and waited for a dime Ben had swallowed to come out the other end, and finally we just stopped paying attention. I assume it did at some point, though.

It has been 5 months since I had any soda other than plain soda water, but I was a Diet Pepsi person over Coke. My #1 favorite soda was Wink. With gin or vodka even.

My new eating program has no soda, no chemicals, no coffee. I'm shocked that I have dealt so well with the loss of coffee. Just herbal tea, fizzy water, wine sometimes. I would mourn the loss of soda and coffee except for the whole feeling great thing.

Heh. I read this convo then headed to the hospital cafeteria I'm at today. And lo and behold: Pepsi products! Boo.

And, I'm no drug expert, although I do play one on the internet, but I'd guess the chick that drank bottles of coke a day and died was probably addicted to some other stuff too, not that is a healthy practice, but I think opiates make you want sugar that much.
