Coca-Cola and Pepsi Caramel Color Is Carcinogenic

Bad news: Coca-Cola and Pepsi have a carcinogenic ingredient: 4-methylimidazole (4-MEI). More bad news: They are not taking it out, they are just reducing it to avoid having to display a cancer warning label in their cans and bottles. 4-methylimidazole is a molecule that forms during heating and browning processes, like those that may happen…

How to Use a Glass Coke Bottle to Quench Your Plants’ Thirst

The narration is husky and the instructions sound: why toss that glass Coke bottle into the trash (or recycling bin!), when you’re a few modifications away from a retro-tastic plant waterer?

All Four of Coke’s Classic Bottles Since 1899 Have Been Reissued for Their 125th Birthday

Who here recognizes any of the Coke bottles in that rack? We should all be familiar with the far-right one, which has been in production since 1916, but do you recognize the other three, which were on shelves from 1899? The far-left “Hutchison” is my favorite, which was their first-ever glass bottle created in 1899.…

Every Last Inch of Coke’s New Shelves Can be Recycled

Later this year, you might spot a new addition to your local grocery store—these recycled Coca-Cola shelves, which are the first shelves ever to be recycled 100 per cent.

Who Wishes They’d Dressed Up As a Coca Cola Transformer/Truck/Vending Machine Now?

It’s a three-in-one costume!* Not only can the wearer pose as a vending machine, but they can also rotate into a Transformer and then mooch across the floor like a Coke van, delivering beverages and cavities to all. *Err, make that two costumes.

Velcro Bus Ads Are Bound to End In Disaster
