You are not missing anything though. Just a lot of sugar

that's a very oversimplification of it. how people can be willing to consume a beverage that can be used to eat the corrosion off of battery terminals is beyond me. so they'd be missing that on top of the sugar, unless of course they are drinking the sugar free versions, then it's just the battery cleanser

  Lemonade (made from real sugar, water and lemons and nothing else) can also eat the corrosion off of battery terminals...

  > can be used to eat the corrosion off of battery terminal That's just acidic, orange juice will do the same thing. But perhaps you are amazed people are willing to consume orange juice too!

  Let me tell you about this thing called saliva…

  About the same acidity as lemonade. Less acidic than the stomach it is going into. There are far more pressing things to worry about in this world.

  I'm drinking a coke right now. The reason? I like it. Also I'm not sure how the pH level of a food is relevant to anything

    The PH level of a food in fact can make it delicious. Sour is one of the main "flavors"

  Luckily I have zero battery terminals inside me. Any acid would eat the corrosion off a battery terminal. Orange juice probably works. Chemistry is scary to those who don’t understand it because it gets used for this type of sophistry.

  It's so entertaining how, like, 10 people jumped in to make fun of you for this idiotic pirouette!

There's a lot of reasons Carbonated Sugar Water, Inc. isn't a $200B business, and Coca Cola (tm) is, that "just a lot of sugar" doesn't even begin to explain.

  Coca Cola is often mentioned in the first lesson of a marketing class. The product would collapse without the huge amount of money they put in advertising every year.
