The unique taste of Coca-Cola knows, perhaps, every resident of our country. After all, this drink simply flooded domestic supermarkets in the early 90s. However, few people know how and from which a delicious drink is prepared. In this article, you will find out what happens if you add milk to Coke. After all, this experiment will help open your eyes to the composition of the famous soda.
Coca-Cola - a taste familiar from childhood
A non-alcoholic carbonated drink of an unusual black color was born back in 1886. At that time, a well-known logo made up in calligraphic type was invented.
Already in 1902, Coca-Cola became the most popular drink in America. But his glory came to our country much later. In 1988, the first Coca-Cola production was opened at the Moskvoretsky brewery. After that, a whole era of Western products began in Russia and the CIS countries.
But have you ever wondered what this carbonated drink is made of? And what will happen if milk is added to Coke? After all, this simple experiment is able to show what happens to the drink after drinking and what is its real color.
What happens if milk is added to Coke?
For the experiment you will need a bottle of carbonated drink and some milk. It is enough to mix the two products, and after 40 minutes you will see the result. If cola is added to milk, a chemical reaction will occur. Caffeine and colorant in a carbonated drink curl up and precipitate. A cloudy yellowish liquid will remain in the bottle.
This is due to the content of orthophosphoric acid in Coca-Cola , in the interaction with which milk is curdled. That is why during the experiment, you can also notice the formation of foam at the neck of the bottle. Thus, if you add milk to Coca-Cola, you get a liquid of a very unpleasant consistency.
The manufacturer indicates that the drink consists of sugar, caffeine, acid, carbon dioxide and flavorings. That is, there is no talk of natural ingredients, and we use an ordinary sweet chemical mixture. And if after a trip to the McDonald’s to order a milkshake? That's right, the same unpleasant picture is formed in the stomach as after the experiment with milk. After all, any alkaline medium when mixed with acid will give a predictable reaction.
Can you drink Coca-Cola after such an experiment?
Anyone who has ever carried out such a chemical experiment is firmly convinced that a carbonated drink is very unhealthy. After all, what will happen if milk is added to Coke? You get the real color of your favorite drink. That is, in fact, Coca-Cola is a cloudy yellowish liquid that is simply painted black.
When it enters the stomach, the drink gives the same reaction as when mixed with milk. In addition, we cannot know for sure what happens when it interacts with other products. But even the fact that in one glass of Coca-Cola contains ten teaspoons of sugar makes you think. After all, this is more than the daily norm for an adult.
Other experiments with Coca-Cola
Now you know what happens if you add milk to Coke. A photo of this unusual experiment is presented in our article. But what other experiments can prove that this drink is harmful to our body?
For example, an experiment with meat and Coca-Cola is very popular. It is proved that if you put a piece of meat in a glass with a carbonated drink, then it will dissolve after 24 hours. This once again proves that the effect of cola on the digestive organs is not the most favorable.
Not so long ago, we observed a whole sensation made by the experiment with the mentos "Mentos". Indeed, when mixed with Coca-Cola, a very violent reaction occurs with the release of a large amount of carbon dioxide. Some argue that this can be fatal.
It’s quite difficult for people to give up the usual carbonated drinks, because without them, life seems not so sweet. But simple experiments prove how detrimental Coca-Cola affects our internal organs. Therefore, before you go to the supermarket for the next batch of colored soda, remember about the experience with milk. Perhaps this will save you from a meaningless and very harmful purchase.
