If this was a Coke vs. Pepsi thread, I'd say Coke.
But I'm not supposed to have caffeine, so I drink neither. Faygo Orange is my fav.
Not sure about Coke being the Devil's temptation, I'd worry more about stuff you can't buy in a store...
Elizabeth, you have a good point. If it will remove battery acid corrosion, just think what it does to us!

One of my friends works as a nurse in the Gastroenterology department of a hospital in Sydney. Believe me, his stories are so gut-wrenching (yes, literally!) that they will make you stop drinking Cola for the rest of your life. It made me stop. He has had 16-year old kids come in with their intestines all burnt because of excessive Cola. These kids cannot (poop) normally anymore as their intestines are permanently damaged so they now poop in a bag.
My classmate used to be an excessive Pepsi drinker. All he had for breakfast, lunch and dinner was Pepsi and weed (no kidding!). Well within a month his body shrivelled. He had so many procedures and consultations done on him. Eventually he had to restart his diet all over again. Imagine a grown 26-year old guy being advised to start off with one slice of an apple a day! Then it went to two slices, then half an apple, then apple and a banana and so on. I don't know whether he has fully recovered, but I hope he has.
So, yes, Cola is just bad for you. But it's not a devil's temptation. You can pamper yourself once in a while but don't drink it daily and DO NOT drink it on an empty stomach.

^I'm guessing you are talking about an ostomy when referring to poop in a bag?
I only drink pop once in a while... Like if I go out to eat or hang out with friends. Luckily I don't feel the effects of caffeine and so never feel like I have to have caffeine. I like ice water the best.
It just takes self control... Instead of drinking pop, choose water or tea. Juice is ok but that has a lot of sugar too. After a while you'll get better at choosing healthier drinks... You decide what your hand gives you to drink... So yeah...

I started drinking unsweetened iced tea with Stevia. I don't know if you have the liquid water flavor in your country, bit we have some good sugar free one's here, Crystal Light is one of them. I also drank flavored seltzer water, that helped because of the carbonation. I don't drink anything carbonated now and my stomach is much better for it.

). Actually ice water is not good for your health. It has its own ill-effects. Drinking ice water will cause your body temperature to drop rapidly. To fight this, your body will overwork itself to generate more heat in order to achieve normal body temperature. This is not good for you in the long run. So you see, everything has its good and bad. Now what do we drink? Just water. Plain water. Life.is.so.fun. :\
I think soda can be a bad habit.
My general rule is drink 2 cups of water for anything else you drink.
Maybe your addicted to the caffeine, so start drinking coffee instead of coke, same buzz without all of that sugar. Too much sugar makes you feel miserable.
Also don't store any pop in your house. If its in the house its hard to resist. Lock yourself in the house, throw the key out the window to your friend and tell him to let you out when your weaned.c)

OH NOES! You laugh! But this chemical has been the cause of many deaths these past few years!!
Its so addicting that cold turkey-withdrawels can be fatal.
You know the Illuminati is putting this chemical in planes and chemtrail spraying us and making this chemical fall down on everything!!!!!
Dihydrogen monoxide is so deadly that excessive exposure will cause your skin to go wrinkly and get all pale!
Even though small amounts cause hydration, if inhaled, death will occurr within minutes!!!
Its the illuminati! We all have to stand up and resist the chemicals!! We should petition in the streets to ban it!
I bet we could get plenty of folks to sign it.

Then again, we don't go around drinking bottles of vinegar.
I don't like soda, since I was 5 or 6 I've had a negative reaction to the carbonation, though for some really odd reason I can handle a drink made with sparkling water. It doesn't bother me even a quarter as much as regular soda. I mean, I still don't drink it in large amounts and it'd take me 2 days to get through 12 ounces.
The caffeine and the high fructose corn syrup, on the other hand are probably what keeps you hooked. I'm not sure what different kinds of chemicals are in it, but I doubt we should be drinking it on a regular basis.

Take your pick of carbonated beverages, they will all clean battery terminals because of the carbonation (Co2), the higher the carbonation level the better it works. A solution of baking soda in water works the same way for the same reason.
Actually it's spelled "Barq's". "Barq's has bite" actually references the flavor, not the caffeine. Most large name root beers (A&W, Mug, etc) have a smooth creamy flavor whereas Barq's has kind of a spicy bite.
