Cokelore

Not all of these Coke myths are scientifically accurate. Take them in general with a grain of salt, unless my observations on the myths, in parentheses, say something about their accuracy.

• The present-day Coke formula is kept by the Coca-Cola Company in a bank in Switzerland under highest security (accurate fact) for a good reason; the original recipe, dating from the Gilded Age US (turn of last century), contained cocaine and kola nuts (scientifically accurate AND hence the brand name)... but no one knows if the drink does so still.
• Coke dissolves milk teeth if you put one in a glass of the dark nectar overnight or over several days (alas, poor tooth fairy).
• Coke hurts raw meat if you put some in a glass of the dark nectar overnight or over several days (thus, the same would apply to exposed human flesh, muscle tissue as well).
• Coke kills human sperm.
• An Aspirin in a glass or small bottle of Coke makes a tried-and-true love potion and/or aphrodisiac.
• A Mentos mint in a glass or bottle of Coke makes a chemical geyser (this is scientifically accurate, due to the reaction that ensues).
• Human fingers and dead rodents have been found in Coke bottles (again, this is scientifically accurate, but it happened more commonly in the olden days, when industrial oversight and industrial accidents were far more common).
