Don't you be saying bad things about my Mountain Dew... [img]graemlins/troutslap.gif[/img]

Now, other Pepsi products... they can go away. But not the Dew. No one else is close. Some are palatable, but no one is close. [img]graemlins/drinkup.gif[/img]

Spare me, do that in a can of pepsi or any other cola like Dr. Pepper ect and you'll get the same results [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Plus, are you going to take a drink of coke and hold it in your mouth for a week? Didn't think so. Its not going to rot your teeth if you have good brushing habits, sheesh [img]tongue.gif[/img]

A lot of common foods will do that. ANY acidic solution will dissolve corrodable metals. That includes salad dressings with vinegar (acetic acid), almost all fruit and vegetable juices (citric acid), soft drinks (phosphoric acid), etc. Common water is a SOLVENT, and one of the strongest known! Most folks dont know this. Our bodies are designed to take advantage of water's solvent properties. A saline solution (sodium chloride dissolved in water) will greatly speed up oxidation in corrodable metals also. Our bodies actually use HYDROCHLORIC ACID in small amounts to shape our bones and dissolve undigestable material in the gut. Chemistry is a weird place and a lot closer to home than you think!
