Warning! Drinking 10 litres of Coca-Cola a day will kill you! Pages PREV 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 NEXT | |
you'd literally be dead in a week or two, that's a lethal dose of caffeine plus a bunch of other nasty chemicals so you'd better un accept that challenge unless you like life on death row! | |
Christ, my girlfriend gives me shit drinking just 1 can of soda a day... 10 litres is astounding...Wonder how many teeth she was missing. | |
yah, I got up to about 3 litres of Mountain dew, and maybe a couple large monsters in a day. | |
Actually, that isn't quite true. OT: Are we sure that the 10 liters is legit? Sounds like hyperbole to me. | |
Thats not how Darwin Awards work. To be eligible you must: 1) Through your own actions render yourself unable to reproduce if you were stuck on a island with a member of the opposite sex. (children born before the 'accident' don't count) 2) Said actions must be really really stupid. She's dead due to her own actions (which were not the smartest) therefore a Darwin is awarded.
Hard to get in New Zealand. | |
I'm trying to imagine how she could physically drink that much liquid in a single day, and failing. On a night of heavy drinking, I'll occasionally down an entire 2 liter of (diet) soda mixed with alcohol (usually rum or whiskey). But that's over the course of three or four hours, and I'm pissing like a race horse every 15-30 minutes. I can't imagine drinking five times that much in just a normal day, especially without the alcohol. And yeah, I know it's terrible for me. But considering how much beer I'd have to drink to be equivalently drunk for equivalently long, that's a downright healthy solution. | |
Actually, unless the rules have changed, you /do/ have to do it before reproducing, since from an evolutionary standpoint, any organism that reproduces is successful. Killing yourself through stupidity /after/ reproducing can get you an honorable mention, but not a full award. Only exception I know of is if the same stupid action takes out your children's ability to reproduce at the same time, but for obvious reasons, they don't like to talk about cases that involve dead children. | |
NO SHIT. Someone should seriously just pay attention to the freaking nutrition facts and the ingredients. Saves a lot of trouble... And how the fuck is it possible to drink 10 liters? Shouldn't you feel sorta bad before the effects of what's in Coca-Cola affect you? | |
Which rules are you going by? I'm going off
| |
I struggle getting through a 600ml bottle of diet Coke. God i'm such a light weight. | |
I'm joining every facepalmer in this thread. Good grief. Poor family, having to deal with both her, frankly, insane addiction and for her death. No wonder she died though, it reminds me of a form of bullying I've heard of. The victim would be forced to drink X amounts of water in a very short time, resulting in stomach pains and vomiting. Why anyone would want to do something like that to their own bodies is beyond me. Now, I'm going to go pour myself a glass of cola, which I will drink in moderation. | |
Huh, maybe my memory is faulty, then. I used to have a couple of physical books full of Darwin Awards, and I could have sworn that reproducing disqualified you, but I'm also pretty sure that website was behind those books. | |
Ignorance is bliss, and like most things that induce bliss too much of it will eventually kill you. | |
I think the most I got up to habitually drinking every day for about 2 or 3 years was 6 liters...usually 4 liters though. #cantmove #sosleepy #outofbreath | |
"108g of sugar" in the nutrition section of a 1L bottle of coke .... unfortunately education is not often valued by those who would need it the most. | |
Wait wait wait wait... You can play Russian roulette WITHOUT the use of a pistol?! This changes EVERYTHING! | |
Jesus Christ, my freshman year of high school we'd hit up the local grocery store during lunch and grab a 2-liter bottle of soda constantly. We racked up what we thought was a disgustingly impressive ~72 liters over the course of the year. Apparently what took three of us months to consume, this idiot drank in a week. It takes mighty powerful stupid to get me to side with CocaCola in a matter of health. | |
Well no fucking dick, sherlock. | |
I don't think I drink even 3 litres combined in one day, nevermind more than three times that just of cola. I wouldn't say that warning labels are necessary given that most governments in the developed world publish guidelines on how much of pretty much everything you can safely consume daily to be healthy. Putting warning labels on everything that could potentially be dangerous means most things on the planet would need one including your water taps. I don't like to make fun of the dead (often) but this person was clearly either stupid or heavily addicted to consume so much and unless they were living in a cave they must have heard even the urban myths about overconsumption of fizzy drinks. | |
Having a maximum daily intake warning would be harmful for the company because it makes people think oh 10 is too much but 5 liters if fine. No I'm sorry but it's not cigarettes is sugary drinks people need to understand that it can destroy your health, how is the question. Public awareness should be the first step, I mean if your gonna put a label on coke it needs to be on everything. Excess consumption of anything will kill you or harm your health even water. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_intoxication It seems unreasonable to put a label on everything of how it could kill you especially when the use in that way are so unreasonable. When reasonable use can kill you oh hell yeah I agree that should be labeled, if drinking a liter of coke could kill you then yeah put a label on it. | |
I'm not saying we should round up all the stupid people and exterminate them, I'm just saying we should take the warning labels off everything and let the problem sort itself out. | |
I doubt it was a real addiction, most likely just an excuse to not change your obviously silly ways. There was the story of the guy who drank 6 litres a day until he had to have literally all of his teeth replaced due to rotting. The clown still drinks 2 litres of coke a day lol. I mean how dumb can you be? But yeah the company isn't really to blame. They make a product and it's up to the consumer to decide whether or not they should consume it.
That's actually a really good point, I never thought about that. Well put. | |
I find this hard to believe. I don't think anybody is stupid enough to think that there's no problem with drinking 10 liters of Coke a day. | |
Water Poisoning actually. takes less than 10 liters if I remember right. still though, what would these would be labels read? if you drink more than 10 liters of this a day you are retarded? hell, Energy Drinks have warning labels, but for good reason. Taurine overdoses are horrible in their own right. | |
What's with all the outrage against a warning label? Coke is horrible and bad for you. It has no redeeming qualities. It should absolutely have a warning label, preferable along the lines of "Seriously this shit is disgusting, stop feeding it to your kids dumbass". | |
How the hell does one drink that much soda? | |
10 liters? That's all? I'm sure I've probably topped that before, though it's usually spread throughout the day, which for me is about 20 hours. | |
The quantity makes the poison Seriously... 10 LITRES per day! I usually have at most 1-2 300 ml can(s) per day! This woman was having over 30 of those a day! No wonder they died... Too much OXYGEN can kill you for goodness sake! You would need to put up signs everywhere saying that breathing too much can be harmful or fatal! | |
"we didn't know it was harmful because there wasn't a warning label" is The worst possible excuse for someone getting hurt or dying, you have to be monumentally stupid to not understand in even the vaguest sense that that much of anything liquid or the equivalent in solid or semi-solid food is harmful if not lethal. it's a sad thing this lady died and I do feel for those left behind but for Christ's sake exercise some goddamn moderation | |
What? 10L? I'm pretty addicted to pop, but 10L a day???
Really? They want to put warning labels on it because one stupid person drank enough of it to kill her. *facepalm* | |
She must have been going to the washroom a few times an hour at that rate. Forget volume, how about the weight of all that Coke? Assigning the density of water to Coke, she was putting away 22 lbs of Coke every day. Wow. | |
Someone might have mentioned something previously (internet connection is derpy so I don't really feel like going through all 4 pages to check) but from what I remember that coffee was WELL above what should have been served and McD's had been warned about it before. And the woman had just wanted them to cover the cost for skin grafts, her lawyer or someone else made the few million happen. Been a while since I read up on it. | |
This news is pretty old, I followed it and yeah, I would have to say she was pretty dumb. That's spending on average, $15 NZD bucks or so a day on coke, anyone could see it would be bad for you, it has the nutritional details on the bottle like any other food product in the country, yet people ignore stuff like this and then suddenly they need warning labels on them? It doesn't bother me if they do, but it seems unnecessary is all. If I recall, her partner tried to sue and that went no further, it's like saying a car company is responsible for the eventual death of someone who speeds all the time. It's a drink that you're not supposed to have too much of, it's snack drink, or however you want to put it. You have to balance that stuff, just like anything else. | |

That is way too much of anything to be drinking daily ever. Or at least it is near too much.
Doing the math 10 liters is 338.14 oz, and most cans of soda (around here [in Ohio... in the US]) come in 12 ounce cans so she would have to drink a little over 28 cans of soda a day... damn, the math just make it even more obscene. I don't even drink that much water in a day.
A warning label seems to be really unnecessary in this scenario.
