    [qoute]The first thing she would do in the morning was to have a drink of Coke beside her bed and the last thing she would do at night was have a drink of Coke," Hodgkinson said. "She was addicted to Coke."

    Hodgkinson said she ate little and smoked about 30 cigarettes a day. In the months before her death, he said, Harris had experienced blood pressure problems and lacked energy.[/quote]

    But how much did she weigh?

    Coke didn't kill her. Her stupidity (or mental issues as Classic said) killed her.

    No reason she should have had time to drink that much soda throughout the day. Just take the soda out of the kitchen, problem solved.

    She should have tried Diet Coke instead since it has less calories.

    Anyone else surprised that the dead still consume fluids?

    Dear Coke, water doesn't damage your brain and slowly reduce your ability to make good decisions, nor does it contain addictive ingredients which would reduce your ability to kick the habit.

    Coke's not at fault here.

    I'm sure she would've died sooner if it had been Redbull or even mountain dew.

    What a way to go though..

    Has there been research based evidence to support these claims? I'm not attacking you, I'm just curious because I haven't looked into it myself.

    yeah that spin by the Coke brass is just so pathetic it's funny

    um, it was the excessive water, not the ingredients in our product (and overall apathy and lack of any care for her own health) that killed her.

    I used to drink three to four cans of Dr. Pepper a day in undergrad, and I thought that was a ton. Now I limit myself to one caffeinated soda per day at the most, and I often don't have any. Can't imagine drinking that much of that stuff.
