when the syrup is shipped it is labeled as Corrosive.

I used to drink 3-5 Dews a day back in college and high school. I've largely stopped nowadays, but I blame that on beer

Well, since your profile shows you in Ohio...I guess you wouldn't really know about civilized states now would ya? After all, isn't Ohio one of those "fly-over states?

only us Ohio citizens can talk down about Ohio! You leave us alone dammit!

it's pop god dammit!

I stopped cold turkey one day. I used to drink 2 two liter bottles daily, and 3-4 cans at work of Diet Pepsi.

Today if I drink a Diet Pepsi (or any soda) it tastes real chemically to me. I only drink soda whenever I go to a fast food place nowadays, which is maybe once a month.

I don't really feel healthier or anything, and I've gained weight...but my pimples have seemed to clear up a LOT. Too bad my face has been so scarred over the years. I know soda had something to do with it.

Know what else is corrosive? Oxygen... no seriously... look what it does to iron... you have iron in your blood. Yep... that oxygen is some nasty shit... pump it into a fire and it makes the fire burn hotter. Very dangerous stuff. Better stop breathing before the iron in your blood turns to rust and you fall apart or burst into flames.

and do you know what oxygen does to your body in general? and why antioxidants are proven very necessary in life, as they help prevent dangerous oxidation.

it's a pissing contest! yay!

I drink 1-2 sodas per day. When I was in Wisconsin I was drinking 3 a day minumum

I don't drink soda very often...I just don't think it's all that great. Also, I have an active enough lifestyle and a good enough metabolism that I'm able to deal with that sort of crap. However, soda isn't RAW UNPROCESSED POISON, and saying so is FUD. Grandma's chocolate cake is just as bad for you. Drinking it in excess, not brushing your teeth, and not exercising? Yeah...that's a bad combination.

I'd rather die instantly than have Type 2 diabetes and end up having my limbs amputated, or have kidney failure.

I really don't drink soda all that much, and I think all this fear that people have tried to generate about soda over the past 5+ years is getting ridiculous, but I will agree that it would most likely help out a lot with our obesity issue if people drank even three-quarters as much soda as they do now.

It's not called "pop," nor is "coke" a general term for soda. Soda is the proper term to use.

it's pop and if we in Northwest Ohio say it, then that is right. Why? Because we have no accent. Duh. All the evening news programs, the anchors have the same accent... well, same lack of regional accent. Everywhere they don't say pop, they have an accent.

Best quote ever. I don't I guess I drink it for the simple that I would rather not give a shit than give one.

I'm trying to not drink any soda until next New Years' Day. Then after that I'll probably only drink it occasionally. Soda isn't as good as it use to be. It's so tempting to grab a soda at work since we get a ton of Coke and Dr. Pepper products.

Also, is pure HCl acidic? That doesn't make sense because it wouldn't be in aqueous form with itself.

Do you want to be healthy? Drinking soda is bad for your health in so many ways; science can't even state all the consequences. Here's what happens in your body when you assault it with a Coke:

Within the first 10 minutes, 10 teaspoons of sugar hit your system. This is 100 percent of your recommended daily intake, and the only reason you don't vomit as a result of the overwhelming sweetness is because phosphoric acid cuts the flavor.

Within 20 minutes, your blood sugar spikes, and your liver responds to the resulting insulin burst by turning massive amounts of sugar into fat.

Within 40 minutes, caffeine absorption is complete; your pupils dilate, your blood pressure rises, and your livers dumps more sugar into your bloodstream.

Around 45 minutes, your body increases dopamine production, which stimulates the pleasure centers of your brain, a physically identical response to that of heroin, by the way.

After 60 minutes, you'll start to have a sugar crash.

How many sodas have you had today? How about your kids? As of 2005, white bread was dethroned as the number one source of calories in the American diet, being replaced by soft drinks.

The average American drinks more than 60 gallons of soft drinks each year, but before you grab that next can of soda, consider this: one can of soda has about 10 teaspoons of sugar, 150 calories, 30 to 55 mg of caffeine, and is loaded with artificial food colors and sulphites. Not to mention the fact that it?s also your largest source of dangerous high-fructose modified corn syrup.

Nature didn't intend on you living to be 80-90 years old. You were supposed to die in your 40's, after you past the point of being useful to anyone.

That is why there is soda, cigarettes, alcohol, cancer, Alzheimer's, etc. Fucking die already, you old shits.

Die

Die

Die

I'm 38 BTW, and I welcome the end in 2 years. Not that it will happen. I will probably have a tube stuck in my ass to keep me alive for 20 years so that the medical industry leeches can make money.

I know what you mean. I saw a picture of a soldier in a wheel chair with both legs missing. Man... fuck Coca-Cola! They shouldn't allow our troops to drink it, it's killing them!

I call BS on this whole thing because of this right here. Take sweet tea for example, I'm sure it's sugar content rivals or exceeds a cokes, pop, or soda, whatever you call them. And I don't see people throwing up, why is that?

It takes me 30 min to an hr to drink a soda usually. Better for my insulin levels, but worse on my teeth.
