It's been said for sometime now that Coke is injurious to you. The sugar content and high acidity have been proven time and time
again to cause hazards to the human body, but if you're a huge fan of the
popular soda, even the smartest of scientists might not get you to quit
your habit. If you really need some convincing, though, check out this
experiment involving Coke and a bit of milk. What you see at the end
might just be enough to make you cower in a corner every time you see
that famous red label.
The experiment requires just two ingredients: Coke and some milk.
Add a little milk into the Coke bottle...
...And seal it back up. Then leave it to sit for about six hours.
This is what you find when you check on it again.
The top layer looks like water taken from a particularly filthy river.
And the bottom layer looks like... dirt? Sand? Diarrhea?
The Coke is so acidic
that it denatured the proteins found in the milk, causing this bizarre
(and gross-looking) chemical reaction.
While this definitely makes you
think about what happens when you make yourself a Coke float as a summer
day treat, it's also worth remembering that the tissues in your own
body are also made up of proteins.
Your body probably won't dissolve
into a pile of brown mush after one can of soda, but there's no denying
that a liquid that has this effect on milk is not anything that needs to
be put into your body.
