OT: can coke & lacquer | Arthritis Information

Share
 

I was watching 'How It's Made' on Discovery channel last night and they showed how can cokes are made. They spray lacquer into the can to keep the acid of the coke from eating thru the aluminum! I was like EWWWWW!!! I am never drinking another can coke! Told hubby that.

 
Then today MIL brought me a can coke... and here I sit drinking a can of coke.
 
I am so weak when it comes to coca colas! I almost never drink coke because of what's in the coke, never mind the can. But every now and then I have one...maybe once every two months.

You can get glass bottled colas that taste like coke but are made with cane sugar and better ingredients here, like Boylan and Jones brands. Maybe you have something like that where you live?I can't drink much of that stuff anymore. Probably better that way. I think we have the Jones brand.
 
I do not drink colas unless they are brought to me by MIL or when we are at the in-laws house. Oh and when we go out to eat, if they do not have root beer.
Hi ladies
 
I dont do coke too often either, but on a nice hot sunny day a really chilled one hits the spot.  That said, I'd rather have a G&T with a slice of lime, no ice!
Just crazy, I tell ya!
I suppose when you see what it does to a penny its understandable. [QUOTE=joonie]

Who would have thought they sprayed the inside of the can with lacquer? Not me! I can understand the outside, but the inside!

Ofelia.. this shouldnt be a staple of your eating plan [QUOTE=Gimpy-a-gogo]I almost never drink coke because of what's in the coke, never mind the can. But every now and then I have one...maybe once every two months.

You can often find cane-sugar Coca-cola in Mexican supermercados.

Boney    I have one Coke a day.  I love the taste, the smell, the feel of the bubbles, the long, satisfying BUUUURP when I'm done... I'm hooked.

A girl's gotta have a few vices, right?

Besides, nothing on this planet helps an upset stomach (for me, anyway) like a cold Coke.
Once my husband drank a glass of coke from a two liter bottle in the middle of the night with the lights dimmed. The next day he poured a glass and out came what looked like disintergrated ciggarettes. I called Coca Cola and reported it and gave them the upc. They sent me coupons for free product but never told me what was in the bottle. I never used the coupons and I don't drink Coke but drink PepsiTo me Pepsi tastes like Diet Coke and Diet Pepsi tasts like regular coke. i love coke-a-cola way too much!!!!   wonderwoman
