    Ok...Ok... You guys win. I was going more for the water facts tan the COKE stuff. I mean, I like coke stuff too, but if water actually benefits the bodies in more ways than coke, than it makes sense to grab that. Just trying to be helpful..... :blushing:
    Which of the things in the list about water are "facts," again?

    There's "science" that shows coke's bad. There's "science" that shows it's not bad. I feel for most people it doesn't really matter.. if you want one enough, have one and enjoy it.

    What "science" shows coke's not bad?

    Do some research instead of reading rubbish posted on Failbook. It's all BS about Coke.
    The bit about the T-bone disolving in 2 days sounds a bit outlandish, but most of it is true. But lemons are also very acidic and will do most of that same things. Lemon juice can even bleach out your hair!!
    I am not willing to by a T-bone steak and a 2 liter to test it but I do not believe the steak would be gone in 2 days. Why isn't anyone going after lemons?!

    Where will the T-bone go?

    The point you're missing is that it DOESN'T benefit the body more than Coke. In fact, Coke is about 95% water. Beyond the difference in calories and the potential health issues of overconsumption of calories, they both provide the exact same benefits.

    I was wondering that too. Thanks for asking! I'm going to try it, but I can't afford T-bone. I'll try it with my bottom round. :bigsmile:

    Where is the smiley bashing a head against a brick wall?

    Hee hee! Obviously drinking Diet Coke increased my irony factor today.....

    Love the exploding head image. Now, must post results of my diet coke in stomach plus sirloin steak experiment once I get back from the gym, and then post it over Facebook ;-)

    Did you know that one in four people who drink coke run the risk of contracting lycathropy and will be cursed to walk the earth as a shape shifter. They will have a great a terrible power that they can draw upon but they will be pulled in to a war between the forces of good and evil for the rest of their days. They will not longer be able to live a normal life. They will be hunted by the Black Spiral Dancers, a clan of werewolves whose goal is to bring about the apocalypse.

    Everyone who abstains from coke and drinks water instead will develop unparallelled skills in the areas of data mining, taxidermy, and a third category of your choice. I went with juggling. If you drink water long enough you will be able to learn one of the romance languages without any practice or research.

    Now that you know this which would you choose? Coke or Water?

    First, let me say that I do not drink soda of any kind and I do believe it can be bad for you in certain quantities (or, in the case of diet soda, in any quantity, but that's because of the artificial sweetener), however, your post has been noted false by Snopes in several different threads. Here's just one of them:

    Damn, you beat me to the Snopes link! :D

    The active ingredient in Coke is phosphoric acid. Its pH is 2.8. It will dissolve a nail in about 4 days. Phosphoric acid also leaches calcium from bones and is a major contributor to the rising increase in osteoporosis.
    What's the pH of stomach acid?

    I'm not even a soda drinker but my first thought was your stomach contains acid, so why am I concerned that Coke has it? Coffee, tea, lemonade, and vinegar do too.

    For that matter water will etch marble. It reacts with calcium.

    When I was pregnant, I had TERRIBLE morning sickness. I couldn't keep down any fruit at all (or juice) and even water came back up. But soda of all kinds stayed down fine.

    Well the OP is something to think about. Interesting science experiments.

    I know that stomach acids are pretty powerful and the lining of the stomach is pretty powerful because if we didn't have a stomach lining, the stomach acids we all have would eat thru that. so i think those things keep coke from eating our body up.

    Except for those who have ulcers, but where did the ulcers come from? Coke? or what? Can benign food cause ulcers or just stuff like coke?

    Where is a nurse to explain!?!

    Drinking slightly acidic things does not cause ulcers. Nothing you drink is stronger acid than the acid already in your stomach. Ulcers have a variety of causes, but none of them are drinking soft drinks.

    I figured as long as we were making wildy unscientific claims I would pepper in some Werewolf: The Apocalypse because I absolutely love that game.

    2. You can put a T-bone steak in a bowl of coke and it will be gone in two days.


    You can put a T-bone steak in my mouth and it will be gone in 2 minutes. Does this mean I'm dangerous? :frown:
    GENIUS RESPONSE. :0) x Love it.
