Pepsi vS Coke

Just fyi the acid in soda eats away at your teeth faster than sugar. So really it dosent matter if you drink diet or not. If its still acidic (That includes juices ect) then the drink is still eating away at your teeth. Simple solution. Straw. I drink anything but water with a straw now because my teeth where getting bad but since i started using a straw the decaying has slowed considerately. And i drink more water than anything. (not bottled either)
If i had to choose between these 2 id say Coke with Lime. I really hate the both of them. I only like the certain companies bi-products such as Mt Dew whcih happens to be my fav drink. I never liked any of the Pepsis but if its the only soda around ill drink it (Unless there is good tap water to be had). I used to be a huge soda drinker but now its more tea, water, and Kool-Aid.

Umm hate to say this but it is the two together that rot the teeth. The acid present simply isn't strong enough and sugar does nothing to the enamel. When mixed the sugar becomes a catalyst for the decay and thats the time to worry. I say worry but having done the Mythbuster's test on it with one of my baby teeth I can say without a doubt leaving a tooth in Coca-Cola or Pepsi or 8M sulphuric acid overnight does not means it will dissolve. From the 8M Sulphuric I found 0.01g had gone after over a week so don't believe what you hear. Its more important to brush regularly to help maintain them than stuff you eat.

This is one of the most fun tests you can do. Get a bottle of vodka, shot glasses and straws. Shot glasses are your official measure. Divide friends into 2 groups. One group has straws the other does not. Have fun night in supplying vodka in shot measures to friends. Watch as the straw get drunk much faster than non-straw group. The most lightweight drinker in the non-straw group will more than likely be more sobber than the heaviest drinker in the straw group. Of course to be true test you should redo the night with groups switched.
The plain and simple biology of this is alcohol absorbtion predominantly takes place in the mouth. From the average swig of tipple over 80% of the alcoholic content passes through the buccal cells and under the tongue. By the time it reaches your stomach the acids change the alcohol into ketones (police breathalyser tests for these) and they don't have same effect on your body. People saying "eat fatty food before you go out it helps absorb the booze" are
So to say straws help your teeth is wrong I can only think that the effect is psychosymmatic given your obvious feeling about it and the lack of biology.

U can use either of the colas, or shop-cola, to clean stuff. Golf clubs, pennies (if ur into that).
There was an experiment done in schools where they would "get" a tooth and leave it in a `cola` and u could see how much the brown/acidic stuff had eaten into it.
My arguement was, u firstly don`t hold it in ur mouth, u at most swill it around - surely ur saliva can cope with that... and well I hate any drink with loads of sugar in it (cough, didn`t have diet colas then >.<). Spooky how I like mdew - so easy to drink.
Used to drink caffiene free, sugar free and just get done on the carbonate
oh, coke ftw!
I actually have "flat" Coca Cola in a spray bottle to clean my golf clubs if I've had a particularly heavy bash (which is always of late). Really loosens the crap.
Yeh the school experiment is scrotal appendages. I did it with my own tooth.
Saliva should counter it but it depends on how big your mouth is but you are right even with a straw it aint in there for long.

Erm, look a little closer at the whole poll.
When you drink from a straw it dosent pass over the front teeth. I have a habbit of chewing on my straws so i dont just put my lips over them.
I knew about alcohol already. Im 20 I got wasted at a friends grad party cause his aunt gave me a crazy straw with a Tequila Sunrise. woooo i couldnt even sit in a lawn chair lol (After having a ton of other liquors and shots as well)
And rofl at the acid sugar thing. Dont tell that to candy.

Coke for me...I was watching a story on Warren Buffet and he was saying he drank 5 cokes a day before he bought a big chunk of the company. He still drinks the 5 cokes a day.
So the moral of the story is if you drink 5 cokes a day you may become a billionaire too..(my screw up was I drank too many, Im now cutting back to 5 to see if I become richer)
