Comments By: Connor Great idea, it relieved the pain wonderfully. Thanks!   man thats really stupid...cold cola causes sore throat Comments By: mohit Coca Cola causes sore throat to me   I tried it and it doesn't work Comments By: none of your business! .   True,True Comments By: Morgan The pain is worth it. It really works. I can swallow easier now,Thanks.   nice. Comments By: Taylor it actually worked for me...didn't permanently relieve the pain but it did well enough.   Man.. that's the stupidest thing i have ever heard! Comments By: Natalie It doesnt work. It just hurts more and makes it harder to swallow food and drinks!!!   OW!!! Comments By: anon If anything it made it worse!   To Make this work for some people Comments By: Anon For some people soda (pop, cola ect.) will only help if its flat or in the syrup form. P.s. this works well for an upset stomach too.   Worked for me Comments By: Nick It works but only temporarily.   works better than not drinking it Comments By: WILL I tried it and its working. The pain isnt completly gone but it has dulled at least 70 percent.Now lets see how long it lasts.   Two words: Medical School Comments By: Robert B. The pain was so unbearable, I would have suffered less eating a pineapple whole.   Burp Comments By: Steve Burp......................   depends. . . Comments By: Anon i did try it. . it did work, but it also burnt my throat. . .i think it depends on the root of ur problem, i have glandular fever. . therefore i dont have any bacteria to kill off etc. its a virus and all i can do is wait it out and put up with it really. so i wldnt say that certain things do or dont work, just that it depends. . .   HELPS!!!!!! Comments By: Jessica Davis i tried it and but i drank sprite and it helped but my sore throatisnt that bad, but it's really scratchy and hurts when i cough or swallow. I have a thinkg that might help someone with the same kind of sore throat, just cough all the gross stuff out and it kind of drains it all out. Hope it works for you!!!   nope Comments By: SOMEONE i think you should eat like something crunchy like chips or cheesesticks because they are kinda hard and so it rubs against you throat and it feels pretty good.... TRY IT!!!   Aw hell's no this doesn't work!!!!!!!! Comments By: coke *is* crap Coke was the reason I got this damn sore throat! Besides, Pepsi rules!   you people are crazy. Comments By: katter everyone's all mad cuz the coke just made it worse. hahahhahahaha I should come here more often...anywayz I'm gonna go try it..... 30 seconds later OW!!! THAT HURT!!!!   wow Comments By: tmac i cant believe this helped it coated my throat thanks it didnt even burn to bad   Sugar BAD! Comments By: Amos The High Fructose Corn Syrup in Coke will only feed the bacteria in your throat and in the long run make it worse. The carbonation may make it temporarily feel better but when you are sick you should avoid ALL sugar products.   IT WORKS!!!! Comments By: 'Anon' It burns on the first glup, but after that my sore throat slowly disappeared.   depends Comments By: kodiak I think if you get the fountian version of coke, it works. the more concentration of syrup the better. my friend just gave a coke at the theater and slowly sipped on it and my huge sore thoat went away.   DO NOT DO THIS Comments By: Big Dave Its fact that coca cola and sugery drinks affect your throat, as an actor i know about the throat and the body of acting and actors never should drink fizzy drinks before a production is cloggs up the throat and affects signing and projection. i can imagine this only causes more pain.   Hmmmm Comments By: syeda It contains loads of sugar so i think it would tend to make the bacteria more active.... Or maybe it would burn away the yuck stuck in my throat...lol
