Why I Hate Pepsi/Coke

Children, carbonated drinks make you fat! Have juice instead!

[Edit, after the first few comments]: More info :) Reproduced from here
  • In The First 10 minutes: 10 teaspoons of sugar hit your system. (100% of your recommended daily intake.) You don’t immediately vomit from the overwhelming sweetness because phosphoric acid cuts the flavor allowing you to keep it down.
  • 20 minutes: Your blood suar spikes, causing an insulin burst. Your liver responds to this by turning any sugar it can get its hands on into fat. (There’s plenty of that at this particular moment)
  • 40 minutes: Caffeine absorption is complete. Your pupils dilate, your blood pressure rises, as a response your livers dumps more sugar into your bloodstream. The adenosine receptors in your brain are now blocked preventing drowsiness.
  • 45 minutes: Your body ups your dopamine production stimulating the pleasure centers of your brain . This is physically the same way heroin works, by the way.
  • >60 minutes: The phosphoric acid binds calcium, magnesium and zinc in your lower intestine, providing a further boost in metabolism. This is compounded by high doses of sugar and artificial sweeteners also increasing the urinary excretion of calcium.
  • >60 Minutes: The caffeine’s diuretic properties come into play. (It makes you have to pee.) It is now assured that you’ll evacuate the bonded calcium, magnesium and zinc that was headed to your bones as well as sodium, electrolyte and water.
  • >60 minutes: As the rave inside of you dies down you’ll start to have a sugar crash. You may become irritable and/or sluggish. (Edit: Well I don't know about this as I don't have Coke. But what say B? )You’ve also now, literally, pissed away all the water that was in the Coke. But not before infusing it with valuable nutrients your body could have used for things like even having the ability to hydrate your system or build strong bones and teeth.

This will all be followed by a caffeine crash in the next few hours. (As little as two if you’re a smoker.) But, hey, have another Coke, it’ll make you feel better.

That said..Here are some pretty good uses of Coke..

Coke can also be used to relieve the sting from Jelly Fish. All you have to do is pour the Coke over the sting.

Clean burnt pans! Boil a can of coke in a pan that has burnt on stuff. Everything comes right off!

Use as tanning lotion. Works better than any products for tanning out on the market! Must use real coca cola...No diet or cherry. Apply it over skin and lay out in sun or get in tanning bed. Tan will last longer as well!

Add a can of coke to a load of stinky or greasy laundry. It will help get the smell out, plus it will loosen the grease.

Dump a can of coke to your greasy driveway. Hose off a few hours later. Voila...should look great!

You Know what, Coke was accidentally discovered. It was a potion used by some wierdos, which had a mix of Cocaine and Coca seeds which contains caffiene. Some genius removed the cocaine and added soda and there you go ..You have coca cola.
