i met someone in bolivia that told me it was recommended to drink coca-cola if you had a cold. the argument they gave was that because coke contains so many harmful ingredients, that rot teeth/corrode metal/penetrate the earths crust, it also attacks the cold or flu virus that you're suffering with. it sounds too stupid to be true, and a quick search on google reveals it's exactly that - stupid not true. apparently the only scenario when it's a good idea to drink coca-cola is if you're going into insulin shock because of an overdose of diabetes medication. it's embarrassing how many times that has happened to me. i also found out that the chemicals in coca-cola help neutralise the pain of jellyfish stings, so pouring a bottle of coke onto the stung area actually offers some kind of relief, an effect similar to pouring/peeing urine onto the affected area. with this information i think the coke marketing board could try a whole new marketing thrust: when you've run out of piss... try coca-cola
