I wonder if I could use Coke to kill my tapeworm then... hmm...

Ha, that's a joke if I ever heard one. I remember my physics teacher telling us if you leave a nail in coke it friggin dissolves.Unsurprisingly, Pepsi and Coca-Cola strongly disagree, saying there is nothing in the drinks that can be used in pest control.

I tried that once...Left it in some coke for about a week and nothing at all happened to the nail.

hmm maybe it just makes it shinier or something, i dunno. Or maybe you just needed to wait longer...but afterall, it can put holes in your teeth, that much I know for sure, and enamel is one of the hardest substances.

It takes just SLIGHTLY longer than a week.Originally Posted by JaWiB
At least 10 days.
I am pretty sure that if you place a tooth in a glass of coke/pepsi it will dissolve.
I actually went to a few websites and one said the nail thing was "unproven," another that it couldn't happen, and another that you needed to use an uncoated iron nail. Maybe the iron thing makes a difference
Hmm does anyone else have trouble using smilies?

coke is one awsome cleaner when it comes to copper waterblocks/heatsinks.
What does glucose have to do with it? I mean it contributes to tooth decay, but thats because of saliva and bacteria in the mouth that ends up producing lactic acid.
