Warning: Coke kills

[The Zeonic States]

I always tell people they could expreince what i have fairly easily, It's just signing a paper and months of training and then deployment, or leave and then deployment.

You can see if the Desert and Plains are as hot and dry as i recollect.

Not an US citizen here, sorry XD

Alright?

Actually many Africans who use cocaine actually do mix it with gunpowder.

Brown Brown isn't exactly popular anywhere else given it's tendency to cause death.

And only in West Africa did it ever acheive somewhat usage, and even then only to expendable child soldiers and even then that is unconfirmed, it's an assumption.

.-. So i don't view it as popular.

Oh. I thought more would have.

[Zonolia]

I find this thread funny because I am driking Coke right now actually...then again like any sensible person it's only a normal can's worth and I won't be having any more today...

Also it's her fault.

One can die from drinking too much water....

One can die from drinking too much water....

Or eating to much KFC.

[Tesseria]

I believe the family's using the "no warning label" excuse as a way to sue Coke. It's the same thing with the Monster energy drinks lawsuit. It's common sense that you can seriously hurt yourself drinking too much of the stuff. If you want to be stupid and do just that, then don't blame the company.

LIES! LIES AND SLANDER!

Cripes, it's not like the nutritional info isn't readily available, including the caffeine content. How the hell did this woman NOT get the caffeine shakes? I OD'd once on caffeine to the point I had the shakes and vague nausea; and y'know, I learned not to do that! Even spread out over the course of a day, 10L of Coke equates to something like 1000mg of caffeine. Chronic caffeine poisoning isn't Coke's fault, it's the idiot woman's fault for her completely irresponsible consumption of the product. She could have done the same with Pepsi, or Dr. Pepper, or Mountain Dew, or really, ANY caffeinated beverage. I believe soda companies are already required to label the caffeine content on the can or bottle; that should be plenty to keep the average consumer out of trouble. This woman was clearly not the average consumer, she's the sort that it's impossible to idiot-proof something against.

It happened.

They built a better fool.

So does water. If you drink too much water you will die. I see nothing special here other than a woman who over-indulged.

A company with deep pockets is "at fault". That is what is special about this incident.

So they should make their drink so that even when you drink an ocean of it, you will merely get a bout of gas? Because that is something nature cannot even do. I suppose we should say nature is at fault for people who die from drinking too much water, correct?

Drinking 2.5 gallons a day of anything can be detrimental on one's health, albeit, in different ways. Heck, if you drink too much water, you can literally drown

I have a proposal, but how about the World adopts Michael Bloomberg's regulations on all the things that are considered outright banned or restricted to a specific amount? That way people won't be able to do this to themselves! After all, it's up to the government to make sure that people are living in a safe, danger free environment. What horrors would we encounter as the mindless denizen if we were allowed to eat or drink what we wanted?!

We should regulate ourselves with only being able to buy only 16 fl oz cups of sugary and substitute sugary drinks (splenda, sweeteners, etc)... Oh and only up to a two pack of 8 fl oz cans of said drinks per week, to be fair to everyone. This way, no one will be able to do this to themselves.

Or... we just take heed and learn from this woman's mistakes and know that drinking 2.5 gal of the stuff per day is really harmful. Actually, most sane individuals would have known that beforehand. I feel sorry for her family though, especially her kids.

If a woman drinks 30 cans of coke a day, she has a problem.
Don't blame the fucking corporations if you're too thick to realise that quantity is a danger of itself.

Coca-Cola knowingly pushed an addictive product, marketed it as a harmless lifestyle accessory, and lobbied to display the least amount of consumer information possible on the label. For other addictive drugs, the same actions (lobbying might or might not be in the fiscal picture) is considered sufficient to justify violent raids in neighborhoods and at ports and bars. How are they not even slightly culpable for what happens when people get addicted? What drugs does this blanket amnesty apply to, exactly?

This is why General really pisses me off.
Everyone's a fucking visionary with the real enlightened perspective.

I have no doubt that if there is a thread about someone who turned on their blender and stuck their hand in it then people on NS will blame the company that manufactured it. Scratch that, they will be arguing over who to blame, the power company that provides power to the blender, the company that makes the blades for the blender, or the company that actually assembles the blender.

If the job of the government is to make a safe, danger-free environment, we might as well buy billions of rolls of bubble wrap and force everyone to wear it 24/7

Nope, can't be bubble wrap, people would have too much popping each others' bubble wrap suits. They would have to be puncture proof plastic bubbles or balls (like a hamster ball).

…does anyone actually believe this is Coca-Cola's fault?

That is insane. How can any reasonable person blame the company for the consumers choices?

But… the company didn't make her drink the Coke…?
