Could this mean it's a bad idea to drink Coke from a styrofoam cup?
- artursapek 6y agoIt's generally a bad idea to drink coke, or to drink from a styrofoam cup.
- ferongr 6y ago>It's generally a bad idea to drink coke Not really, it's not worse compared to many other things people consume.
- Supermancho 6y ago> Not really, it's not worse compared to many other things people consume. Yes really. Other things being worse is whataboutism to derail from the issue. Coke, specifically, from can bottle. If you drink the brown sugar suspension that is fountain soda, you are just marching toward diabetes. The chemistry is unique between these products.
- aaomidi 6y agoCoke isn't limited to sugary coke.
- Supermancho 6y ago> Could this mean it's a bad idea to drink Coke from a styrofoam cup? > It's generally a bad idea to drink coke All coke colas (and most other products) are insanely high in fructose. The distinction to "drinking coke" is that it's a coke carbonated cola product. The conversation isn't nuanced that a distinction is being made.
- gruez 6y ago>All coke colas (and most other products) are insanely high in fructose by "Coke isn't limited to sugary coke.", I'm guessing the parent commenter was talking about the sugar free variants eg. diet coke or coke zero.
- aaomidi 6y agoYep.
- Der_Einzige 6y agoUhhh no, diet coke and the various kinds of coke zero are NOT high in fructose.
- SulfurHexaFluri 6y agoWhy is this downvoted. I'm quite sure that many soft drinks like "coke no sugar" use aspartame instead.
- Der_Einzige 6y agoIf you look at my posts, I seem to be on the "downvoted every post list" from a few unhappy members as I frequently find my posts instantly downvoted for no reasons...
- sathackr 6y agoMost fruit juices sold have very similar amounts of sugar to non-diet sodas.
- sathackr 6y agoSome people I know lecture me about drinking too much soda while their kid chugs cup after cup of orange/apple/grape juice. https://www.forbes.com/sites/nancyhuehnergarth/2015/12/14/warning-your-fruit-juice-has-as-much-sugar-as-a-soda/#:~:text=For%20example%2C%2012%20ounces%20of,whopping%2015%20teaspoons%20of%20sugar https://www.forbes.com/sites/nancyhuehnergarth/2015/12/14/wa....

- ta988 6y agoCoke doesn't contain acetone or alkanes like in gasoline so you will be fine. You should be more worried about your teeth and blood sugar.
- jedberg 6y agoOnly if you plan to leave the coke in there for a week beforehand.
- amelius 6y agoDon't these cups have some kind of inner coating?
- ars 6y agoThey do not. You are thinking of paper cups with a plastic or wax coating.
- LeifCarrotson 6y agoThey used to have a wax coating, in just the past decade that has disappeared almost entirely and any recently manufactured cups have a polyethylene (not styrene) lining. Many cups made for hot drinks have polystyrene on the outside, some are multi-layer paper and some have a cardboard sleeve.
