The way you worded it, it sounded like you were saying they were the same. Oops.

I never said Coke was harmful to consume, you may have been confused by the Coke SYRUP. The SYRUP is a concentrated liquid that is mixed with carbonated water to make the soda (i.e. fountain soda). Since Coke is acidic , the concentrated syrup has a high acidity.

Do you know how concentrated that is? About 0.03 molar. I would feel comfortable washing my hands with that syrup. It's possible that coke syrup
is shipped in special hazardous containers, but I doubt it's necessary.
