SirPrimalform: Does eating caramel make you stink too?
I don't know if it makes you stink, but according to some researchers it may cause cancer:

So, we'll all have to pay at least 100 USD to keep drinking Coca-Cola? And 40 USD for each new flavor that comes out?

grape1829: Thank goodness he can't make my can of soda online-only.
Don't make that sound like a challenge...

How about this...they only "license" you the soda. You don't actually OWN it. You can't drink it while in a car, while walking, or with chicken wings. Heaven forfend if you try to mix it with any alcoholic additions or pour it into a different container...

TheJoe: Caramel food colouring isn't made from caramel. It's just caramel coloured.

Get a piece of caramel and burn it, it'll go black, much like coke (do it outside though!!).
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caramel_color

It's not made from caramel, but it's caramelised sugar which is the thing that gives caramel its colour (and taste to a certain extent).

TheJoe: Coca-cola contains caramel food colouring, which fucks with your sweat. If people aren't coming near you, it's probably because you stink of food colouring, seriously.

Give the coke a rest for a couple of days and you might smell an improvement.

But not only that, coke and pepsi are just so bad for you. Phosphoric acid can melt through bone, why the hell would you drink it? I just always felt sick after drinking it.

I dunno. Maybe it's just me. I just stick to water, coffee, beer and juice now. No coca-cola goes down my gullet and it never will.
The stomach acids produced in your body are far more concentrated and deadly to bone than diluted phosphoric acid so give that a rest. The suddenly smelling bad after a single can in nonsense too.

But hey, it's your choice. Just be consistent at least. Don't tell me the dangers of coke while cracking open a few beers and damaging your liver while having alcohol on your breathe.

Ingest in moderation and you'll be fine. You can pretty much damage your body by over indulging on practically anything.

It's not even necessarily sugar, just some kind of carbohydrate.

I don't think I ever downed caramel as much as pepsi but I don't think it's got the same effect on the sweat.

The state of California has added 4-methylimidazole, a component of the caramel food coloring used in cola drinks, to its list of carcinogens. This would require Coca-Cola and Pepsi to print a cancer warning on their products. but they decided to change their recipe for the caramel food coloring instead.

I bet he plans to introduce a mandatory monthly subscription fee in order for customers to be able to buy Coca Cola at all.

I hate California because everything, EVERYTHING, can give you cancer there.

Plastic fork? Cancer. Sippy cup? Cancer. A BURGER? CANCER FOR EVERYONE.

Kabuto: I don't get all the hate. Sure he's made some stupid comments, but this would be like stop going to the legendary smoked meat Schwartz's sandwich shop where I live because Celine Dion bought the place. As long as the sandwich making procedures don't change, I don't care.

Go to a Mexican supermarket. Buy a Mexican Coke.

And learn what you Americans have been missing for decades.
