Coca-cola: The new evil.

what a shitty example haha

 

One sip of Coca Cola makes my teeth feel like they're being scraped by a dental tool.

 

For those of us who are in the dark about the evils of Coca-Cola, could someone add a little more insight to what they are doing, how we know about it, what we know, etc? Any and all (true) information is appreciated. Thanks!

Whoa I didn't know that was going on at all. Thats horrible. And gives me another reason to add soda to my list of evil things. Because soda is gross and so bad for you and I guess it tastes good but its just liquid candy. I guess thats not the issue here but yucky.

 

Meh, I still like Coca-Cola zero.

 

the thing is, there are so many evil corporations out there that I think that we have become so used to boycotting "this product" or "that product" that people just don't care anymore.

while I do believe that Coke probably is another one of those horrible companies...check out Camp Coca-Cola. My friend works for one near Boston. It's a pretty cool leadership program for underprivaleged youth. Apparently, once they are accepted to the program, they go for free or something.

 

I make my own cola. Theres ways to make it not pure sugar. I didn't know coca cola was that bad.

 

Buy Pepsi - it tastes a lot better and the corporation kills and kidnaps fewer people. I would not buy Coke for that reason and now much prefer pepsi.

 

1. Coca cola isn't evil.

2. Big corporations suck. Welcome to capitalism.

3. I like Coca cola and will continue to drink what I want, thanks.

^what's the source for that?

Interesting, if it's true.

 

I'm not sure. I got it through a chain email. I think most of the facts are true, because I recieved the email from someone who looks up stuff before they send it out. I know the one about the steak and stuff is true though

 

i cant live without a bottle of coffeine a day

 

They're all evil. It is fucking water laced with high fructose corn syrup and some chemical flavoring. You think that's good for you?? Drink water.

 

I've used Coke for years to loosen rusted nuts and bolts on old cars. Try it if you don't believe what Seaweed posted. It eats away the rust. I wonder what it does to our insides. And I used to be a Coke drinker. By the way Pepsi works just as well in removing rust. And it doesn't matter whether or not it's diet or regular.

 

I Have always known coke was bad but ithink i'm actully gonna try to stop drinking. i liek stuff with tatse so i keep a pitcher of water with lemons in it in the fridge.
