What was it doing to your stomach-lining? It was making mine Sparkly-Klene. It was fighting the good fight against that bubblegum I accidentally swallowed when someone told a joke with the word "penis" in it. And then I received the horrifying information (children can be so cruel) that the bubblegum would be stuck in my gut for seven years before becoming a cancer, or zits. So Coke was my friend, my antidote against the unthinkable consequences of swallowing bubble-gum amd I didn't mean it and it was an accident and am I gonna die. Carbonated anodyne. I wonder if the marketing guys at KO made this schtuff up to lock in the youth market. Moi, a corporate dupe? Naaaah. It saved my young lathery LIFE I tell you. Postscript. When Coke ( the original, not New Coke, not Classic Coke, not Diet Caffeine-free Classic New Coke, but just plain Coke went off the shelves ... do you remember the hoarding, the frantic bidding wars for One Last Case? I was suddenly worried about an incomplete course of gum chemo. And I was, like, twenty or something.
