    Every creature that had ever breathed oxygen, dies. That’s a 100% mortality rate.

    Rust on the Myrtle Beach ferris wheel has also been shown to reduce fertility levels of crabs nearby, causing a dramatic drop in their population and California Bill 34 was passed to drastically limit how many can be caught, devastating the local fisheries!

        Check the label. Anything with sulfuric and phosphoric acid is good for rust removal. The reason why it’s in cola is simply because without it, it would be way too sweet from all the sugar.

          Isn’t it the opposite? Soda would be bitter AF cause of the caffeine and the carbonic acid is added to give it the fizz, then they dump a ton of high fructose corn syrup in.

            The carbonic acid is for the fizz, yeah. The sulfuric and phosphoric acids are to regulate sweetness. Sodas are syrups that get diluted with water hence the need for all that sugar.

            No, it’s too sweet because big soda brands are targeting Americans first and Americans just love too much sugar in all foods. There are plenty of non American sodas in Europe and they have only a fraction of sweetness.

                Dalston’s is amazing and is available in every supermarket in the UK. No sugar, no sweeteners, just carbonate fruit juice with some flavouring. One of my favourites.

                Fentimans is a big soda brand and they do add sweeteners, but their drinks are nowhere as sweet as Coke etc.
