    Yeah COKE is awful, it's so fizzy and makes me hiccup everytime I have a sip (which may be once a year if that!)...and to think...there are some parents out there that give their kids COKE all the time! Scary....

    I'm another 'once or twice a year at a party' member!! This is exactly why, too! Thanks for the reminder

    I wonder whether parents realise drinking coke leads to mineral leaching? (depletion).

    Interesting that it leads to dehydration instead of hydration. It's not a drink at all... more like a 'sponge'.

    people treat me like a puritan when I say that Oscar doesn't drink it EVER...yeah, what a terrible deprivation!
    Also, I too think of it as exactly the opposite of quenching a thirst and I make sure I drink water or a mineral drink in the same session.
    The whole product is pretty loathesome, especially when I remember being in Central America and seeing families with next to no money buy bottles and bottles of Coke for their kids who are brainwashed with the marketing from the US. I have cousins there who drink it, I kid you not, instead of water because they think water is horrible...and before anyone thinks that this is because water quality is crap there, I'll tell you now that everyone there drinks bottled water (when they're not drinking Coke or Pepsi!), so they're opting to buy more expensive Coke than nice water.

    Omg, that's bad. Lucky I hardly ever drink it. I could never get through a whole can, makes me so full!!
    I read once if you put a tooth in a glass of coke overnight it will be dissolved by morning!
