i may just an animal, but this ferret has a degree in biochemistry ;) hehe, most food is acidic to some degree, thats what gives it bite, spicy food especially

and given the quantity of pepsi, or coke for that matter produced per day, as both have ascorbic or citric acid as flavoring, a barrel of what is probably highly concentrated and corrosive acid gets diluted down to a tickly feeling when you drink it

as for the ability for pepsi to make little black sinking lightening tentacles grow out of your arm and loaf of bread when poured on it, i always knew the stuff was evil, i drink coke, but after seeing this, i'm never putting any cola in a test tube again, look what it does, straight out the bottle is best

oh, yea, i came originally from an island in the caribbean, lots of old wives obscure remedies, the warm coke remedy works great

Did you know the fire department specifically uses strawberry pop tarts for certain drills they do. I guess they are highly flammable, pretty funny! :eek:

:lol

Another weapon for my army! Fear the pop tarts!

It's the capsaicin molecule that gives spicy food it's bite, right? Raiyven should know what I'm talking about: He's always boasting that he enjoys chemically burning his tongue.

But back to holiday spice pepsi: The next time I'm home, how abot I pick up a case for the 905 crew?

Sounds good Sifi ; )

capsicin is just one spicy chemical, quite a common one but there are a lot of them, eg Citric acid is in a lot of foods, vinegar is acetic acid, ascorbic acid is a general taste enchancer, lactic acid is in milk, tartatic acid is in strawberries (tart flavor)
