Why drink water when there's Coke Zero?

[Rodimus Prime]

Well one reason not to is coke Zero is still a very strong acid. It is the acid in the coke that takes out teeth not the sugar.

To give you an id. In the US to transport anything with a PH of 2 or less requires a hazardous chemical licenses. Coke has a PH of 2.4. That is really close to that limit to require a special licenses to even transport it and we put that crap in our bodies in large amounts.

Why live when you can die drinking chemicals.

Oh my god - this is still going?!

Of all the threads I've started, I never thought one about Coke Zero would be the most popular!

Well, the only compelling argument I've heard is the acid and teeth thing. My gorgeous gnashers aren't this fantastic for nothing.

Coke Zero supposidly gives you brain cancer, but if people said that because of aspartame then it's BS.

I myself drink real Coke, and Fanta Fruit Twist of course!

The key is to select a topic that a wider audience can participate in.

Things such as:

- Girlfriends/boyfriends
- Spouses
- Parenting
- Pizza, soda, beer
- Cars
- Sports
- The weather
- Office politics
- Education

You got a slam-dunk in the pizza, soda, beer category.

Coke Zero contains Aspartame. While it is controversial whether its good or bad....why chance it? Drink water, its what your body is made out of.

That looks dangerous. Instead, I think I'll just go for the original red #2 M&Ms. (Younger MR readers may not know they dropped red M&Ms around 1976 because they suspected the red coloring contained a chemical that caused cancer.)

All kidding aside, I wouldn't want to risk messing around with potential carcinogens, even if the food or drink is yummy.
