Oh! So that's why hot water burns you!

I know it's a joke and all, but it's not just the pH that makes something burn. A regular coke has a pH of around 2.5, for example.

Oh yeah? Then explain the sensation my sphincter feels upon butt-chugging three cans of coke, smart guy?

I believe that's caused by the CO2, but I'd have to test to be sure, brb.

They still aren't back... Oh god, did you do 4 cans?! Everyone knows you can't do 4 cans!
