If you have a tough steak, marinade it in Coke for 24 hours, then grill it......tender and yummy!
Or, meatballs and Coke in a slow cooker....

LOL.
I love how videos show what Coke does to things.
What boneheads don't realize (not aimed at OP) is that anything highly acidic will do the same thing. Soak something in lemon or orange juice and it'll eat away at it. Soaking anything for ages will rot something. People can drink highly acidic drinks no problem because the drink is on your teeth for a short amount of time, and then your spit neutralizes it. And assuming someone brushes their teeth a few times a day, that's all you need to keep decent teeth.
People have no problem using vinegar on food, yet people also use it as a household cleaner which kill germs. And best of all, watch that old Mythbusters clip where they compared different chemicals to see which one eats away at metal the best...... the winner? Tortilla chip salsa. Tomatoes are very acidic when made into paste/salsa. And combined with all the salt and other crap they put in it, it ate at the metal better than corrosive chemicals.

There are other You Tube videos people leave McDonald's out for one year. After the year it is pretty much the exact same as the day it was bought. It doesn't rot or breakdown
Maybe next test should be to put McDonald's in Coke for a year and see which it tougher

I'm a coke addict.
I've been drinking it as long as I can remember.
I don't do the extreme quantities but do have anywhere from 1-3 sometimes 4 a day.
I have all my own teeth, could stand to lose a few pounds like most in my 50s age group.
All my regular health tests come back normal including for diabetes.
No raging ulcers or other stomach issues. Actually the acids in our stomachs make those in coke trivial. What do you think breaks down that tough steak in your digestive tract?
Would I be that much healthier if I didn't have a couple cokes a day? Who knows?
Most things in moderation EH?
Nothing like a tall glass of ice cold coke poured slowly over crushed ice on a hot day or with a take your breath away hot chilly

Coke also has dihydrogen monoxide in it! LOOK what dihydrogen monoxide alone does to human fingers after soaking for as little as 15 minutes!!!
Dihydrogen Monoxide (DHMO) is a colorless and odorless chemical compound, also referred to by some as Dihydrogen Oxide, Hydrogen Hydroxide, Hydronium Hydroxide, or simply Hydric acid. Its basis is the highly reactive hydroxyl radical, a species shown to mutate DNA, denature proteins, disrupt cell membranes, and chemically alter critical neurotransmitters. The atomic components of DHMO are found in a number of caustic, explosive and poisonous compounds such as Sulfuric Acid, Nitroglycerine and Ethyl Alcohol.
Your fingers will look like that from water to.Coke also has dihydrogen monoxide in it! LOOK what dihydrogen monoxide alone does to human fingers after soaking for as little as 15 minutes!!!

I am no health nut, conspiracy theorist or anything. I eat bad shit too. But no sugared pop.
If there is ONE thing you want to do in your life to improve your health, lose weight and drastically reduce the likelihood of developing diabetes is STOP drinking Coke or any other high sugar drinks.
It is kind of complex but in summary, when your duodenum senses high concentrations of sugar leaving your stomach, it triggers a bit release of insulin to metabolize it. It is called insulting spiking.
First the sugar (now converted to glucose) loads your blood for immediate energy. But your blood really has relatively little capacity to store much glucose. So the surplus is converted to glycogen and stored on your liver. When your liver is "full", the glycogen is then stored as fat.
NOTHING makes you fat faster than sugared water.
And that insulting spiking from too much sugar is one of the leading causes of insulin resistance that results in Type 2 diabetes.
No matter how good it tastes, Coke is really not worth the clear and well proven harm it causes.
While I am no scientist, I understand there is often dihydrogen monoxide in water.
Sooooooooo... by your argument, then sugary drinks are ok?
Just going by my own rationale, I think there is a lot more soda sold than alcohol and more obesity from sugared soda than alcohol.
Just to show how inane any of these videos are about soaking things in acidic liquids, as it compares to your own health.
1. Soaking something in pop for a long time
versus
2. Myself whose probably drank about 15,000 cans of pops (one pop a day for let's say 40 years (365 x 40))
My teeth are fine. I have all my teeth, only a few small cavities, and no crowns, root canals or any kind of surgical procedure. And I'm sure tons of people are in the same boat.
As I said before, drenching something in a liquid like pop for long periods of time means nothing since no person is going to soak their teeth or body in it. Your spit neutralizes pop, you brush your teeth, and any can of pop you drink (or any other acidic beverage) is effectively neutralized in your body as well. If anti-acidity was so important, none of us would be alive. Our own stomach acid is more caustic than anything you'll ever eat or drink in your lifetime. And it's always ready in your gut.
A similar stupid test would be to see what happens if you soak something in continuously hot coffee for long periods of time. Guess what? Whatever you have in that hot coffee will burn.
Or simply soak something in water. Guess what? It'll get insanely wet, and if it's something organic, the water will eventually turn the thing into mush.

The funny thing about these kinds of videos is you'd think the people promoting it are all super fit people. But usually it's ignorant people who don't look at the bigger picture how science works. Things done in short spurts leads to much different results than prolonged exposure.
That's like telling someone that going outside in -20 C weather will lead to being an ice cube. Well, if someone is outside dressed poorly and hanging out in the cold wearing a T-shirt for hours, then sure it's bad news. But if I'm lazy, have a T-shirt on and just want to hop outside for 1 minute to get something in my car, I'll be fine. And 99.999% of people are smart enough not to walk outside in freezing temperatures all night, that's why the only people you hear freezing to death are homeless people, or some mental case who wandered away from the psych ward not knowing any better.
Amazingly, I hear more health tips from either normal or fat people. You'd think all the awesome health tips I hear in life would be from guys who go to the gym everyday, but I hear more tips from people who shouldn't be giving tips.
It's like getting food tips about losing weight from that person everyone knows..... that continuously fat guy or fat chick. Claims they eat like a rabbit and goes to the gym. At work, you never see them pigging out. But the reason for the fatness is because they also claim god gave them bad genes and even celery sticks and tomato soup somehow leads to being 50 lbs overweight.
Just like these silly videos, these types of people are the last ones to listen to.
