    I'm sure all you people have heard of the Coumbia incident involving Coca-Cola where workers were murdered for attempting to join a Trade Union.

    And I hope you have heard of the Health implications of drinking Coke.
    The Phosphoric Acid that accumilates in your body is exceedingly dangerous.


    "Always Coca-Cola"
    If you want to support an orginasation of murderers, Liars, decievers, those corporate b*******, curse them!



    Yup, Dig that groovy taste!
    of bitter sweet murder

    Well, I suppose everyone has read the following about it that circulates around the web

    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... Let the "real thing" sit for one hour, then flush clean.

    4. The citric acid in Coke removes stains from vitreous china.

    5. To remove rust spots from chrome car bumpers: Rub the bumper with a crumpled-up piece of Reynolds Wrap aluminum foil dipped in Coca-Cola.

    6. To clean corrosion from car battery terminals: Pour a can of Coca-Cola over the terminals to bubble away corrosion.

    7. To loosen a rusted bolt: Applying a cloth soaked in Coca-Cola to the rusted bolt for several minutes.

    8. To remove grease from clothes: Empty a can of coke into a 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.

    9.The active ingredient in Coke is phosphoric acid. Its pH is 2.8. It will dissolve a nail in about 4 days.

    10.To carry Coca Cola syrup (the concentrate) the commercial truck must use the Hazardous material place cards reserved for Highly Corrosive materials.

    11.The distributors of coke have been using it to clean the engines of their trucks for about 20 years!

    Those would be very good anti coke points, if they were actually true, which most or if not all, aren't.

    Nope, It's cycling for me.
    And as for Nike, Let them burn...


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 17,208 ✭✭✭✭aidan_walsh


    Oil and grease on the bike? Rubber on the brake pads and tires... Steel for the frame... Most of these resources are bought from large multi-national corporations with as bad or worse practises than Coke.

    Want to bitch about them now, or will you just stop cycling?

    I think they should bring back the original cocaine infused coca cola.

    Claim: Coca-Cola used to contain cocaine.

    Status: True.


    what a happy world it would be.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,249 ✭✭✭omnicorp


    Right, so phosphoric acid is good for you?

    I don't think its good for your teeth. But you could ask them.

    Heard a lot of this stuff when the current Student's Union junta ran referendums to ban coke.

    Columbia isn't politically or militarily stable. It was just a left wing terrorist group being killed by a right wing terrorist group.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,437 ✭✭✭Crucifix


    No, but I do drink Pepsi.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 26,928 ✭✭✭✭rainbow kirby


    I don't think I'm capable of not drinking coke at this stage...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,831 ✭✭✭Healio


    I too am much more of a pepsi person, if i went to a shop and there was no pepsi but there was coke, i would go to the next shop for pepsi rather than buy coke, mainly cause its utter **** and gives me heart burn, two litre of pepsi a day thats me sorted mind you i think the cancer lump on my balls mite have something to do with all that phosphoric acid. ah well.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,007 ✭✭✭Moriarty


    I don't drink it (any soft drinks really, actually). Not because of any political/moral motivation, but simply because (1) I drank almost nothing but coke for ages a few years ago and my teeth are a bit worse for wear because of it now (damned sensitivity, curse you to hell! *shakes fist*) and (2) I find it too sweet/salty to drink any amount of it now.

    I wonder if they will make a movie/documentary of someone who drinks only Cke for a month?
