coke and pepsi safe?

Question

is it safe to have coke or pepsi (occasionally atleast)

Answer 1

It is okay to consume Coke and Pepsi in:

a. Europe
b. North America
c. Austrailia and New Zealand
d. Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand
e. Middleeast

Elsewhere in Asia, you can consume it at your own risk because even though they claim to be same as elsewhere but there is no health check and these companies involve in bribing the corrupt health authorities so better not to consume them. In India and Pakistan I have heard that these drinks include hazdardous ingredients.

Answer 2

Shares of Coca-Cola (KO: Research, Estimates) and PepsiCo (PEP: Research, Estimates) have been on a tear this year, with each posting solid gains in an otherwise dismal market. Coke has surged 20.3 percent year to date while Pepsi is up 7.2 percent. The two currently are trading just a hair off their 52-week highs.

But some analysts and fund managers think the trendier Pepsi has more fizz left in its stock than Coke.

Coca-Cola is launching a new product, Vanilla Coke, next week (May 15) while Pepsi recently announced that it will start selling a berry flavored cola, Pepsi Blue, in August. With Vanilla Coke, the company seems to be banking on nostalgia. (John Travolta's character in "Pulp Fiction" ordered a Vanilla Coke at a 50's themed diner, for example.)

Pepsi Blue, on the other hand, seems to be a concerted attempt to reach out to the hipper, younger demographic that drinks Pepsi's Mountain Dew. And embracing that demographic has worked. The launch of Code Red, a cherry-flavored version of Mountain Dew, last year helped Pepsi increase its market share. According to the Beverage Market Corporation, unit volume for all of Pepsi's soda brands (including Diet Pepsi and Mountain Dew for example) increased 1.3 percent in 2001 while volume for Coke's carbonated beverage brands (Diet Coke, Cherry Coke and Sprite among others) declined by .2 percent.

"This is a mistake for Coke. Pepsi is going after the right market. Younger audiences are going to buy more of Pepsi Blue. I don't see any edge in vanilla," says Ted Parrish, co-manager of the Henssler Equity Fund. As of April 30, Pepsi was the fund's second-largest holding. The fund does not own Coke.

Answer 3

The said on the national news last night that drinking one soft drink a day leads to, on average, a 15lb weight gain per year. Whatever. I starting drinking mineral water a long time ago and I'm glad that I did. I think that people become addicted to soft drinks and they don't even realize it. The point of the news story was that soft drinks are playing a large role in the cause of obesity in the United States. I tend to agree I guess. Stick a few Mentos candy pieces in a plastic bottle of Pepsi. You need a certain flavor of Mentos, I think the fruit flavor. What happens is kind of cool.

Answer 4

Pepsi is too sweet. And Coke, yes, like the earlier girl said, makes me burp a alot. I still drink Coke occasionally. I drink somewhat sweet tea most of the time to kill any craving.

Answer 5

yes if u don't drink a lot and every day.
but in India it's not safe, some states there blocked coke and Pepsi because they found insecticide on these drinks
