- pja 15y agoPlus the coke has salt and caffeine in it, so shortly afterwards you'll want to drink more: Another can of coke perhaps?
- mistercow 15y agoThe sodium (not actually salt – or at least, not sodium chloride) in a coke might make you thirstier, but the caffeine probably won't. While caffeine is a diuretic, studies have not supported the idea that it causes dehydration, and it's generally accepted that the amount of water in coffee (which has a far higher caffeine density than coke) is enough to offset what you lose to its diuretic effects.

- watmough 15y agoAnd there's a lot of stuff to digest in those oranges. I'm full up after one. That's maybe a tsp of sugar.
