Coca Cola does have preservatives - The original coke contains Food Acid (338) (Phosphoric Acid). Coke Zero has Food Acids (338 and 331) (Phosphoric Acid and Sodium Citrate) which are both also preservatives.
drink water you wont need to worry
What makes Coke special that it doesn't need it?
No living organism can survive in Coke.
RIP Yakult.
You mean the same Coke they make videos about people using it to clean toilets and chrome bumpers??
Just what do you expect to be growing in a bottle of Coke??
It's a mild acid. People using it to clean toilets as opposed to dilute vinegar, are just silly.
First World Problem
How so? It was merely two questions.
Dumb and trite.
First World Problem
Actually it is outside the First World that Coke is soooo popular.
Bit funny for someone drinking soft drink to suddenly be worried about preservatives. I'd be more worried about all the sugar and corn derivatives in our food.
I'd like to buy gougou8 a Coke and keep them company
Coke is so toxic it has a half life like uranium. Why waste $$ on preservatives.It rots your brain and teeth at the same rate.
Cocka ColaI can see that people who don't drink Coke are a bit cranky. Another reason to drink Coke.
Man i could go for a coke right now…
Coke zero of course, because health 😂Simple diet advice. Don't eat or drink anything you can buy at McDonalds
Cool, don't have to eat apples or drink water anymore!

On another note, didn't people used to mix Panadol or something with coke to get high?
No.
They could get permanent and potentially fatal liver damage though.
mix Panadol or something with coke to get high?
I heard the one if aspirin and Coke, not Panadol.
Did you Google every single ingredient listed? If not try it and at least one will be some type or preservative.
Coke doesn’t need preservatives because:
It has very low pH due to phosphoric acid
It's highly carbonated
Its formulation is hostile to microbes
= It's not healthy for humans to consume. Put that Coke away.
Why does all soft drink except for Coke have preservatives.
Because Trump says so. Or get sanctioned otherwise.
Preservatives is the least of your worries, i'd worry about the whole sum of unnatural ingredients.
It's believed to be the high concentration of phosphoric acid which makes it acidic and stable enough not to need any other preservatives.
