In Aust we still have real sugar Coke even post mix crap is sugar. It is SO much nicer than the American Coke! The sickly sweet tate of USA Coke is not pleasant. |

I've got a bottle on standby. US Coke is VERY different from the rest of the world. It's another of those things we 'voted for' without knowing it. The Sugar Protection Act of 198x fixes the price of sugar well above the world market value and forbids imports, which turned most of the Caribbean into drug thugocracies and turned US Coke into dreck. A lot of the same politics as everybody's favorite fuel, ethanol.
Brother was skeptical so he bought one of each, poured in glasses and asked me which was which. I didn't even have to TASTE it; one smelled like Coke and one smelled like drain cleaner.
It's $1 at Kroger. For bulk consumption I buy Pepsi which comes in a sugar formula at regular price. Mex Coke is a 'special treat'. US Coke is drain cleaner. Wonder if it also kills ants? |

used to remove rust I recall. I think salt kills ants. They swell up and die. |

The corrosive ingredient in Coke is phosphoric acid. However many other colas and soft drinks also use phosphoric acid in them.
It can dissolve bones and teeth over time, because phosphorus competes with calcium. But I think you'd have to drink Coke continuously to notice anything. Moi, I used to buy Mexican Coke. Then I figured that it would be healthier just to give up soda pop entirely. In favor of nice cold water or fruit juice. Or beer. Gotta have that beer. |
