Coke habit contributes to woman's death

Not the white powdery coke of course, but the brown syrupy coke:

Good thing my dad got off that, he used to get it free at work and it was clearly not good for his health.

To much of anything will kill you.

2 gallons a day? I drink alot of pop, but not that much!

I worked with a guy who drinks 8, 2L bottles of diet Coke a day. 16 liters, which is more than 4 of your little gallons a day.

And Darwin gets another one.

I would need alot of rum to go through that much coke.

I feel like we've gone over this one before.

False. She lived to produce 8 offspring and so natural selection is not in play here unless her children do not live to carry on the genes as a result of their mother's death.

I couldn't drink that much water in a day.

Ironic considering 87% of posts are self-indulgent whining.

I figure the way you mix them 10 gallons of rum would be sufficient.

As an employee of Coke, you can consider this an official response.

Get bent ya fat berk!

Good God, talk about sensationalizing journalism. I can just see the next one....Pizza Hut in lawsuit: Woman who ate nine pizza's a day dies suddenly. Pizza linked to death.

Way to put those two together genius. Here's a tip, shut you fried balony hole for five minutes and stop cramming sugar and fat down it.

Bleh, rant over. Resume your daily activities.

It's tough to imagine anything where taking 2.2 gallons of it a day wouldn't, at the very least, be something you'd want to discuss with your doctor. I'd guess, for example, that anyone who tried to eat that much in almonds would keel over and die after the first gallon.

exactly. I read that yesterday on the BBC newsfeed. Lady was in her thirties (forget her exact age) had all her teeth removed due to rot, would get withdraw symptoms if she did not get her coke, and one of her children never grew enamal on their teeth.

I posted it up for a friend of mine. He goes through those 16oz bottles at work like they are water. Then about every three months has to give it up for a week or so because his stomach starts to hurt

The really weird part to me: she had all her teeth removed due to rot which says a lot about her general level of hygeine and health but somebody hit that at least 8 times? I guess New Zealand has people every bit as classy as we do up here.

A whole forum full of automotive enthusiasts reading an article about "death by coke" and no one noticed the lady in question is from the same city as Burt Munro.

Oh, I noticed.

I know! When I see unattractive mothers I want to ask "who did you?? Who. Did. You!!!?"

I had heard someone say that they worked with a guy that did that and they called him "Two Liter".

That's him.

Guys like me, who take what we can get. Any watering hole in a dry spell, ya know?

E: Besides which, she ain't disgusting looking, at least in the face.

In reply to Zomby Woof:

I had a feeling it must be the same person. Too much of a rarity that someone would drink that much soda a day.
