When I was about 6 years old, I read an article in a newspaper regarding the ill effects of fizzy drinks. My first instincts were, "Ha, what rubbish!" But I decided to find out the truth. I had lost two of my milk teeth at that point of time and put them to good use.
I put them in two bowls containing Pepsi and Coke. Three days later, the coke dissolved my tooth completely, while the one in Pepsi dissolved a day later. The story doesn't end here. I chucked the drinks into my sink and left for a day. My mom washed it and the sink was perfectly clean. I strongly recommend you to do the same. It actually works!
Now I will give you a brief list of Cola contents. Or should I call them contaminants? You decide. An average can of Cola has: 10 teaspoons of sugar- If your mother force fed you with that much sugar, you'd vomit straight away. But the phosphoric acid tempers the effect.
Carbon Dioxide- Frankly speaking, nobody in the whole wide world would advise you to consume CO2. Ethylene glycol- mainly used as an anti freeze agent. Not fit for human consumption.Phosphoric and citric acid caffeine other flavourings. On a sidenote, avoid commercial fruit drinks(Appy, Frooty) as they are also an overload of sugar. Have a glass of water, milk, home made fruit juicce(without sugar) or a bowl of yoghurt. That will quench your thirst.
There are so many ways to die peacefully. Why waste it on buying Colas? I would recommend buying a gun or a cyanide capsule.
So Colas or guns then?
