Coke-ism

Sometime ago, i asked a friend of mine why do you drink Coke.He replied he drank it for easy digestion. i asked this question to couple of people and all of them gave such erratic answers. The real answer is nobody knows why there are gulping down this beverage. 

When Coke became popular in india a decade back, it was seen as an aspirational product.Now, it has become daily part of our lives.It has become part of our grocery list today. I often see people buying a couple of big coke bottles in their shopping buckets in super markets.Any 2 rs discount and these people buy couple of 2 litre bottles.

This habit is now passed on to next generation with every fridge in urban areas containing Coke.Some websites say that the main ingredient in Coca-Cola is phosphoric acid, which can dissolve a nail in four days. This alone causes eroding of the stomach lining, infiltrates bodily fluids, takes out calcium from the bones, changes the alkaline-acid balance of the kidneys and damages the liver.
Not to mention, Child obesity is attributed to soda intake.

As far as my home is concerned, we strictly follow the policy of not at all buying soft beverages of any kind . Only , Narasu's coffee is allowed :)
