Do you think it would be dangerous to drink Coke and chew gum at the same time?

I'm thinking the acidity of the Coke would partially demineralize the outer layer of the tooth, and then the gum would sweep those minerals away (not given them a chance to harden again)

I'm thinking you're thinking too much about this...

 

[dhaddox]

Not to mention it would taste weird.

Generally anyone health-conscious would stay away from Coke altogether.

You're safe, unless you want to live dangerously and give it a try.

Well, years ago I did this many times and I've had a few cavities, so you may be right.

Yes, they form an explosive chemical mixture.

No.

Perhaps slightly more dangerous than eating farmed chicken.
