Lemonade Posted October 15, 2005 Report Share Posted October 15, 2005 This sounds stupid but it's totally serious.A few years ago I used to drink quite a lot of Coco-Cola, like about a 2 litre bottle a day, and a few cans as well. I used to dream about cola and wake up totally craving it, to the point where I'd wake up at 7am get up, put on trousers and go to the shop for cola.I stopped drinking it about two years ago, due to all the sugar that's in it. Yesterday however I had a can of it for old times sake, and another today, and now I am sitting here, absolutly gagging in desperate need of a can of cola.What the fuck do they put in that stuff that makes you crave it so?

Bodast Posted October 15, 2005 Report Share Posted October 15, 2005 It definitely has something addictive in it. I know the aspartame in it causes loads of shit stuff but I don't know if it's addictive - maybe it's just the caffeine?On the subject of Coca Cola, http://www.razza.fsnet.co.uk/dearcocacola/cocacolacontents.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PrincessHolly Posted October 15, 2005 Report Share Posted October 15, 2005 When I was a kid we always had Coke in our house then when I moved in with my aunt and uncle they only ever drank Diet Coke which I thought tasted gross but eventually I started to like it and regular Coke became disgusting. Now I drink neither and find both repulsive. It's weird. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rufus13th Posted October 15, 2005 Report Share Posted October 15, 2005 Man you shouldn't drink that much cola (or any fizzy drink). The amount of sugar and acid, building up fat and rotting your teeth respectively, is ridiculous.I know it's hard as it tastes fine. But self discipline's required I think. Force yourself to drink juice or water instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frosty Jack Posted October 15, 2005 Report Share Posted October 15, 2005 I know it's hard as it tastes fine. But self discipline's required I think. Force yourself to drink juice or water instead.A can of ordinary coke contains around seven teaspoons of sugar. but it's the Phosphoric acid that really goes for your teeth. Diet Coke has no sugar' date=' but still has the same amount of of acid.Watch out for juice though. Ribena has more sugar than coke - 12g per 100ml compared to Coke's 10g. One of the worst is Sainsbury's Blue Parrot apple juice (supposedly their healthy kids range) which has [u']14g per 100ml.FROSTYFACTS.

Alvin Starclusk Posted October 15, 2005 Report Share Posted October 15, 2005 I don't know what the addictive ingredient is, but they seem to have put double measures of it in Lemon Coke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrincessHolly Posted October 15, 2005 Report Share Posted October 15, 2005 Apart from lemonade (with vodka in it) I only ever drink water and fruit juice these days. It's so much cheaper and I find that whenever I do end up drinking fizzy drinks, I feel like my whole body is sticky inside. Very odd.

ilobemusic Posted October 15, 2005 Report Share Posted October 15, 2005 and another bit of freekishly sensible advice: dont be fooled by flavoured water!!volvic, for example contains 11 teaspoons of sugar and the others arnt much better. normal water and fruit juice is the best although i think it just depends on what your used to.

Tensium Posted October 15, 2005 Report Share Posted October 15, 2005 my cuz is addicted to coca-cola. he has a coke tattoo on his upper arm.true story: he woke up at 4am one morning, the hangover starting to kick in. he goes to the fridge and grabs the 2ltr cola bottle from the freezer (that he had put their at around 2 am before going to sleep trying to make it cold for a scoof before bedtime). he takes the bottle, goes to the setee. opens the bottle and it had partially frozen, somehow building pressure. a fountain of cocal cola engulfed his living room and sprayed all over the wall. looked like he'd thrown a pot of 'coke' colour emulsion down the wall.

Neil Posted October 15, 2005 Report Share Posted October 15, 2005 Diet Coke (or "diet" soft drinks in general) might not have sugar in them but arguably they something worse in them - artificial sweetener. Aspartame to be precise. There has been a raging debate going on for years about exactly how safe this stuff is but many suspect it to be carcinogenic among other things.More info here:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AspartameNothing is safe these days is it?

Alvin Starclusk Posted October 16, 2005 Report Share Posted October 16, 2005 OK, I've read the Wikipedia definition of aspartame, so explain to me this:How am I still more clever than 95% of the population of the UK? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
