As a man who loves a good floss and teeth brushing, and also one that enjoys the occasional can of soda, I was taken aback when a coworker looked at me condescendingly at lunch the other day while I was sipping on a free can of pepsi and asked me, "Don't you know how bad that is for your teeth?"
She continued, "Haven't you heard that if you leave a tooth in a cup of soda overnight it will dissolve by the next morning?"
I had never heard of this ridiculous claim and steadfastly refused to accept it as reality, however a few other people had also heard it and believed it to be the honest-to-god truth. One co-worker claimed that leaving a dirty penny in pepsi/coke overnight could completely clean and shine a previously dirty penny. I know how much sugar soda, candy and other shit contains and realize that it isn't the best thing for your dental and physical health, but didn't think they had the ability to destroy body parts as if they were sulfuric acid.
So I went to the interweb and tried to get to the bottom of this. I present you with the results of a thorough scientific study on this topic that gets to the heart of the matter.

really, there's nothing like a good floss
I was actually pretty excited to read that "scientific" study. what an enormous fucking waste of time that turned out to be.
Are you ever going to update this sorry piece of shit again? I miss your little pyrite nuggets of wisdom.
