some asshole's website wrote:Coca-cola was introduced in 1886 as "a valuable brain-tonic and cure for all nervous afflictions". Coca-cola was promoted as a temperance drink "offering the virtues of coca without the vices of alcohol". The new beverage was invigorating and popular. Until 1903, a typical serving contained around 60mg of cocaine.

umm fents the tooth one, it will dissolve within a week, trust me ive tried it.

and im pretty sure back when coke was first invented it DID have cocaine in it - but not to get people addicted. It was considered medicinal back then.

i could be completely wrong though.

mmmm i coca cola decided to cut their cola with sugar instead of coke, thats probably a sound business decision.

I used to believe if you swallowed chewing gum it would get stuck in your lungs or sometihng and you would die.

I'm pretty sure the coca-cola/cocaine thing is true.

Drinking milk lines your stomach... hahahahaha... do you know whats in your stomach??? Hydrochloric ACID FFS!!!!!!! Do you think milk would last long in that?

Another is, being wet and going into airconditioning and you'll catch a cold... funny, I though a cold was a virus...

quick · Post by **quick** » Thu Jun 23, 2005 4:09 pm

Oh, and also the one about swallowing chewing gum is bad... hahahaha

sneaky hands · Post by **sneaky hands** » Thu Jun 23, 2005 4:10 pm

apparently there is something in the theory about being cold can give you a cold. Cos your body reacts to cold organs as though you were sick which means your immune system is distracted and not fully concentrating on fighting flu virus.

so if there are flu germs flying around then you are more susceptible.

If you catch it, its cos you got the virus, not because you were wet thou... it may lower your immune system, but being wet indoors with airconditioning is not the cause of a cold, like some would have you believe.

Milk contains calcium that neutralises acid. Atomach acid is about 1.8 pH, when you drink milk it brings it up to about 6 pH, and its thick so it just sits around your stomach, and slows digesition

Coke is indeed evil shit. We have used it for years in nursing to unblock feeding tubes and used to soak breathing tubes in to clean as well

coke is wicked for removing bugs of windscreens

Even takes of a layer of the glass and polishes it i recon.

For this to take effect you'd need to drink that much milk you'd probably vomit it up. Sure a little helps, but it far from "Lining" your stomach.

no... a standard 12 ounce glass will take it form 1.8 to 6 no worries... it's a very effective pH buffer.

Milk also stimulates your stomach to produce more acid and digestive juices.

Thats taking it a bit too far. - Someone once said Partol Troopers in USA used it to clean the road after a car accident...The "Tooth one" i'll belive and hey it even did have cocaine in it. But as for the rest.

I agree that milk sits in your stomach longer than other foods/drinks, but it doesn't line your stomach for reasons that stop alcohol consumption, which is where the old wives tale came from, well thats how I found out about it.

It slows shit down, doesn't stop the inevitable (Alcohol reaching blood) and it doesn't line your stomach... so thats why I laugh at it as an old wives tale when I hear peeps say, we should drink milk so we wont get pissed...

fine then mate. I can see you've put alot of effort into that rebutle....

define 'lines' your stomach then. Are you suggesting that once milk enters the stomach all laws of gravity and physics go out the window and it just floast in the middle without touching the sides?

also.... explain how you know fish arent animals...

Also drinking milk is good for heart burn... another myth... it actually makes it worse... due to the increase in stomach acid production.
