I stopped drinking Diet Coke when I finally read the ingredients. All it took was the first one, phosphoric acid. We used a process to keep heavy metals from being able to leach from an aggregate product we produced from the residue from municipal waste incinerators. What we sprayed onto the aggregate was phosphoric acid. It had the properties to “weld” heavy netals to the aggregate. How yummy does that sound?

The ingredients of Nuka-Cola are: carbonated water, caramel color, aspartame, phosphoric acid, potassium benzoate (to protect taste), natural flavors, citric acid, and caffeine. What gives it the unique flavor is the essence of seventeen different fruits mixed in just the right proportion to give the beverage its trademark taste. Some versions of the drink also include vitaminerals and health tonics. During the Great Passion Fruit Famine of 2044, people actually noticed the taste difference when the recipe was change

If there was anything in DC that could kill you, I really ought to be dead. Your stomach acid is way more acidic than phosphoric acid btw. Furthermore, we asd citric acid to many different foods to affect their taste. I use it when making wine to produce a certain tartness for example along with (tartaric acid and malic acid). Citric acid is also a chelating agent, like phosphoric acid, and is known to be good for you. I probably wouldn’t ingest a concentrated form of any proton donor however.

All colas contain phosphoric acid.
