Does Coke or Pepsi sold in India have to meet the same standards as the same products sold in North America? Somehow I doubt it. Anyway until they
show which ingredient is acting as a pesticide, this argument is rather pointless.
My brother worked for the transportation office, and they used to bring 2 litre bottles of coke to motor vehicle accident cleanups to pour on the
blood stains, it ate it right off the pavement.
Plus there's the old "stick a rusty nail in glass of coke and it come out clean experiment".
