Coke or Pepsi

[Dramacydal]

Definitely coke. Though I prefer diet coke and coke zero.

[ultimateplaya]

I'd prefer Pepsi more. That Pepsi Samba as few years back was a good choice.

[Laxation]

Fuck off and stop making ridiculous threads.

I prefer water, but back in the heyday I used to chug down litres of Cherry Coke.

Obviously drinking obscene amounts of coke is bad for you... It's pretty much like everything else and should be taken in moderation.

Fuck off and stop making ridiculous threads.

That's rather uncalled for, sir.

[J@3]

But pretty funny all the same

[Patr1ck]

No 7up or Dr. Pepper options? What about Mr. Pibb? Shasta? Sprite? Mountain Dew? Fountain Soda, aluminum can, plastic or glass bottle?

[Jackal]

Fuck off and stop making ridiculous threads.

Wait, what?

Relaxation had a bad day i guess.

Coke has citric acid component which can be used for cleaning toilet bowls, remove grease, remove rust and clean corrosion. I don't have a link to it,but i read it like month ago.

Well, whoever wrote that article is either an idiot and hilariously ill-informed, or intended the article to be a hoax (hopefully the latter). Citric acid is not a dangerous compound, it's a natural preservative that can commonly be found in fruits and vegetables, notably lemons and limes. Some people do have an intolerance to it but in that respect it's no different to the myriad of other things that certain people's systems are intolerant of.

It probably is used in the products you've mentioned, most likely as an additive that makes cleaners and the like smell a bit more appealing. If we're to follow the logic that something is bad because it's used in a dangerous product, then water is a dangerous compound.

Juices and natural water are so much better for our health.

Water yes, juices not necessarily because a lot of them are high in sugar.

I'd like an apology, but in the meantime, I'm quite sure vinceair is in fact referring to phosphoric acid, which does indeed have several adverse health effects, notably decay of teeth, and weakening of bones.

I actually prefer the taste of Pepsi. The first drink is godly. However, I don't like cola that much, so I picked the water option. I do enjoy Fresca though.

[benji]

Vodka. (From the choices, Water. I don't particularly like carbonization, nor the base taste of Coke and Pepsi. I'm fine with a Sprite, Mountain Dew and many Shasta flavors. The latter of which I was going to post originally but I was distracted and then Pdub beat me despite his lack of love for RC Cola or Wal-Mart's hilarious versions of popular brands. Fun fact, the only place I've seen Shasta for sale since like 1995 or something is at Menards.)

Well, whoever wrote that article is either an idiot and hilariously ill-informed, or intended the article to be a hoax (hopefully the latter).

I assume it's derived from: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_leaflet_of_Villejuif

Most people would be surprised about how many "common scientific facts" are just old wives tales, simple confusion or perversion of actual science. Like say, people who say "Diet Cola can't be good for you, just look what it does when mixed with Mentos!"

Water yes, juices not necessarily because a lot of them are high in sugar.

I don't know if I would say juice is worse than water. Sugar is essential, it's only abuse of sugar that causes problems (like so many things) in an actual fruit juice (not one of the 5% types) you gain far more from it than the contained sugar. Fruits are naturally super high in sugar content (what isn't? You don't think of Milk as sugary but depending on the type it can be as high as some juices) so of course their juices would be, but when you take one of those juices that are only so much natural you lose all the benefits and wind up with just a sugar drink.

Like all things, it's moderation. Juice is fine, cola is fine, etc. Water will kill you if you drink too much, that's not a reason to never drink water. You can eat and drink anything you want, and you should, life is about "feeling good, man" but like computer problems, it's usually user error that causes problems.

By all means this shouldn't stop people from making up silly myths about "toxins" to save us from common everyday things. We certainly wouldn't want to shut down thriving markets in "foot pads that absorb your toxins" or "cleansing" drinks. Let alone the to be trillion dollar carbon offsets market.

EDIT: Oh and i have heard that coca cola still uses coca leaves in it,but without "cocaine juice" like they did before.

You're aware that Coca is just a plant with a specific taste that's essential to the Coke formula, is used in gobs of goods for various methods and that it takes a significant process to extra the basics of cocaine from it? And that in places like Peru it's very common to just chew the leaves or drink tea of it and that this has basically none of the various effects from cocaine or crack? (Instead, it's closer to chewing on peppermint leaves than snorting or freebasing.)

Coke removed the "cocaine juices" (as you put it) simply for PR reasons, not because of anything it actually did. (Especially after the process to make Coca-Cola itself.)

You're not getting one. You've been here for five seconds.. well, that's not entirely true because your IP suggests you've also been banned like four times before, but I'm letting that go because you seem semi literate and we are lacking that at the moment. Don't blow it.

Of course i know that. Chewing coca plants gives you some energy too,that is the main reason why they decided to separate something from it (cocaine). And that numb gum feeling.
Yes it could have some benefits(energy for example),coffee gives us energy too but is that useful for our health? I don't think so. I don't mean articles which are ordered by coffee companies(95 % of them). Most of them are bs. Long term coca chewers may have memory problems,apathy and stuff like that.
My suggestion for good health is green tea
Moderation is the keyword again as you said earlier. If someone is overusing those leaves they may have "high" like feeling. All of my statement is my opinion and you don't have to agree with them.

[Its_asdf]

Your argument is pretty flawed... First you go on to cite that most coffee related articles are bs and then turn around and claim that they have some negative affects without any proof whatsoever. I mean I'm not exactly a coffee buff myself but that's just a pretty silly thing to do. Opinions are a personal thing, but they're not something that gives you free leeway to spout whatever you want even if it is misinformed.

That's rather conceited to suggest that someone has a right to be blatantly rude and hurtful to another member simply because the aforementioned member has been on this forum longer. Regardless of one's duration, a certain code of manners and ethics is to be abided by. Furthermore, I dont need you to tell me "not to blow it," seeing as I don't live in hopes of pleasing you and your standard of proper forum attitudes.

Perhaps the reason you're lacking more intelligence within the NLSC is that certain members of the community choose to act abrasive and hostile, thus creating an online society that is neither open nor welcoming. Perhaps, just maybe, if people chose not to respond to new posters as laxation did, you'd retain the intelligent ones, and not become burdened by the mere idiots whose self-esteem and self-respect are already so low as to ignore such comments under the premise of "this is just how it is."


Needless to say, I renew my demand for an apology.

What the hell are you talking about?

[vinceair]

Read above if you have learned reading in school. Duh,

[Cartar]

What are you clapping at?

[vinceair]

What are you clapping at?

It's easy to say what are you talking about etc. I made normal post and all i get is- "what are you talkin about?"
It's stupid to answer like that.

Milk has calcium. Cats like to drink milk sometimes. You know, cats are actually the gods who create, change and destroy reality. Anyone who says otherwise is being paid off by Satan. It's unwise to disobey the catlords, do so at your own peril.
I like grapefruit juice.
