Mpffff... the acids and chemicals in one's stomach put coke to shame. As to the sugar - that is a moving target. As with anything else, all things in moderation.

Using Coke for 'off-label' purposes should be a matter of desperation vs. choice. Writing for myself, I have no need to use such means and methods if more direct processes are available. However, if I am at our summer house and do not want to drive 40 miles round-trip to the nearest Home Depot for one small thing, I will sometimes resort to alternate means and methods.
