completely unhinged diagram from an actual medical journal (???)

i think it's really funny that the only two possible outcomes of this flowchart are "consider drink the disgusting brown sugary Branded Suffering Marketing Fluid regularly" or "get surgery"

I hear the medical grade Coke still has real sugar in it, tastes totally different

squircular reasoning @spiders11/9/2023, 7:23 PM

i hear they still put the cocaine in the medical stuff

I drink Coca-Cola regularly and never suffer from gastric phytobezoars so it makes sense to me.

We also use it to unblock feeding tubes! Although I looked it up and apparently that is no longer recommended for some reason.

is it important that it's coke, or would any carbonated beverage work just as well? (is coke more acidic than carbonated water? Mods???)

Coke has phosphoric acid as an ingredient, so it is more acidic than plain soda water.
