Why Coca-Cola is addictive?: scientific journal

Ladies and gentlemen, I am going to prove to you that Coca Cola is addictive, let me rephrase that, I shall allow you to prove for yourselves, the degenerating and debilitating effects of a Coca Cola addiction...

For this experiment, you will need a kid, probably between the ages of 7 and 9, any race or colour. If you do not have a kid handy, they are quite easy to make, failing that, borrow a kid from the neighbourhood. I stress that the colour of the kid is not important. Sit the kid in a sunny hot room with the television on, turn the heating up. Soon the subject of the experiment will become thirsty, enter the room with a glass of water, leave the glass of water in front of the kid, smile and leave. Upon returning, 20 minutes later, one should find that the water has not been touched. Onto stage 2 of the experiment.

What you will need:

a shot glass
a litre bottle of Coke

Bring the objects into the room on a tray. The kid will most likely be bored and irritable by now, so be conscious to smile to reassure the test subject. Now lay the shot glass in front of the child, then say, 'would you like some coke?', the subject will likely respond with a positive answer. Open the bottle of Coke, and tilt the bottle enough to fill the shot glass vessel. The child will take the glass, and drink the shot of Coke. Now that the child has had a taste of the addictive substance, remove it from the room (previous test subjects have been known to lick the empty shot glass). Come back into the room, and tell the child that if they would like some more Coke then they can just ask. Almost immediatly, the child will ask for more Coke.

This experiment, when performed on a variety of subjects yielded results on average of between 10-15 shots per child. In extreme cases, one test subject drank over 40 shots of the addicting liquid...
