Interesting.
Whilst we're on this topic, what do you think of Coke?
Personally I don't drink it unless it's cherry or Rasberry (in NZ)
I don't drink it because
it's bad for your teeth
it's bad for you
it's american, and america is rich enough - I'd rather spend my money on something locally produced. Besides, I've drunk enough coke for a lifetime already.
What are your thoughts?

R Whites do that cloudy lemonade I think. In fact i'm sure they do. It's a pale yellow colour whereas most are the clear variety.

I can't drink coke any more after overdosing on the stuff while I was working in pubs and bars. An da mechanic told me he used coke to dissolve rust and grease on stubborn engine nuts. not sure how true that one is though!
Does anyone else remember Tab Clear, the clear coca cola?

Yes, I'm quite sure St Nicholas's robes were origionally green...and coca cola had something to do with his change to a red suit, but the myth that he brings childeren gifts was around long before then and that he had a beard and umm...stuff. His physical image was changed over time not directly by the coca cola company.

The modern looking Father Christmas was depicted in white, in green and in red, way back into the 19th century, if not earlier. However, Coke's advertising depicting him in red perfectly suited their corporate colours and so the colour variations drifted into the back ground... or something like that at least

Someone sent me this on email, fits with the thread...........so Coke or water?
WATER
#1. 75% of Americans are chronically dehydrated.
(Likely applies to half the world population.)
#2. In 37% of Americans, the thirst mechanism is so weak
that it is mistaken for hunger .
#3. Even MILD dehydration will slow down one's metabolism as 3%.
#4. One glass of water will shut down midnight hunger pangs
for almost 100% of the dieters studied in a University of
Washington study.
#5. Lack of water, the #1 trigger of daytime fatigue.
#6. Preliminary research indicates that 8-10 glasses of
water a day could significantly ease back and joint pain
for up to 80% of sufferers.
#7. A mere 2% drop in body water can trigger fuzzy short-term
memory, trouble with basic math, and difficulty focusing on
the computer screen or on a printed page.
#8. Drinking 5 glasses of water daily decreases the risk of
colon cancer by 45%, plus it can slash the risk of breast
cancer by 79%. , and one is 50% less likely to develop
bladder cancer. Are you drinking the amount of water
you should drink every day?
COKE
#1. In many states the highway patrol carries
two gallons of Coke in the trunk to remove blood from
the highway after a car accident.
#2. You can put a T-bone steak in a bowl of Coke
and it will be gone in two days.
#3. To clean a toilet: Pour a can of Coca-Cola into the
toilet bowl and let the "real thing" sit for one hour,
then flush clean. The citric acid in Coke removes
stains from vitreous china.
#4. To remove rust spots from chrome car bumpers:
Rub the bumper with a rumpled-up piece of Reynolds
Wrap aluminum foil dipped in Coca-Cola.
#5. To clean corrosion from car battery terminals: Pour
a can of Coca-Cola over the terminals to bubble
away the corrosion.
#6. To loosen a rusted bolt: Apply a cloth soaked in Coca-Cola
to the rusted bolt for several minutes.
#7. To bake a moist ham: Empty a can of Coca-Cola into
the baking pan, wrap the ham in aluminum foil, and bake.
Thirty minutes before ham is finished, remove the foil, allowing the drippings to mix with the Coke for a
sumptuous brown gravy.
#8. To remove grease from clothes: Empty a can of Coke
into the load of greasy clothes, add detergent, and run
through a regular cycle. The Coca-Cola will help loosen
grease stains. It will also clean road haze from your
windshield.
INFO:
#1. the active ingredient in Coke is phosphoric acid.
It will dissolve a nail in about four days. Phosphoric
acid also leaches calcium from bones and is a major
contributor to the rising increase of osteoporosis.
#2. To carry Coca-Cola syrup (the concentrate) the
commercial trucks must use a hazardous Material place
cards reserved for highly corrosive materials.
#3. The distributors of Coke have been using it to clean
engines of the trucks for about 20 years!
Now the question is, would you like a glass of water? or Coke?

There's a lot of lies about coke going round..
It won't dissolve a tooth overnight, (thanks dr Karl). Don't get me wrong, I think its strange, but I think there's way too many conspiracy theories flying round and not enough actual facts..
I want references.

Now I drink too much of the stuff and feel guilty every time. But I haven't got a strong enough will to stop.
