Nah....it's only like a bunch of sugar, some water, some CO2, some phosphoric acid, and some flavouring. And caffeine...mm... :P
I've been having a can of Coke almost everyday, sometimes twice a day at school for the past few weeks and I'm not dead yet :)
Of course I'll probably feel it when I'm 40 :(

Waitress: Hi, I'm Vivian and I'll be your waitress for the night.* What would you like to drink?
Me: I'll have a coke
Waitress: What kind of coke would you like?
Me: Mountain Dew.* thank you!
Waitress: I'll be right out with your coke.* Is there anything else I can get for you?
Me: How about your phone number?
Waitress: Well my boyfriend is out of town.* would you like to come over tonight to have hot steamy sex?

You guys call all pop "coke"?

I shouldn't be suprised when other brand names have become so engrained that people think the product is called the brand name

eg NOS, Rollerblades, Kleenex etc

eg NOS, Rollerblades, Kleenex* etc


its all part of marketing by having brand name out there for us to use as general terms. if you want a tissue, you'll ask if anybody has a KLEENEX. its psychology. same goes with coke :-\ some of us are suckers

Yeah, not to mention it kills our vocabulary.
"Pass me the box of facial tissue?"
"wtf is a facial tissue?"
"It's a tissue for wiping your face"
"You're making that up, facial isn't a word, it's Kleenex!"
