I wish, but I'd say there's little chance of that happening.

That isn't what I heard. I heard it was the caramel coloring, and it would actually take drinking about 1,000 cans of Coke per day to give you a higher risk of cancer.
I don't drink soda regularly anymore, simply because it's not good for you in any way. However, EVERYTHING nowadays can cause cancer, or so say the "experts". It's only a matter of time until we're told that drinking water can cause cancer. It's getting out of hand.
Here's an article about it:
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/art...-cancer-warning-labels.html?ito=feeds-newsxml
I was alerted late last night by someone who got routed backstage at MK due to crowds on Main Street that there were pallets of Coke products stacked up backstage but absolutely nothing available for sale. This seems to confirm that it's not a supply issue, something else is going on.
There has been a much overblown hub-bub about the caramel coloring used in Coke and Pepsi containing 4-methylimidazole. As a result both companies are having to tweak their formulas to avoid having to have to put a cancer warning label on their products. (I think the warning label applies only to California) This might have something to do with it, but there is only a correlation.
While it is yet to cause cancer, water in extreme quantities is known to kill much quicker. Google Hyponatremia for an interesting read.
Thank You. Another reason illustrating how bad soda really is. Time to make a switch and have some water. Bring your own reusable bottle to the park and fill it with water again and again. It's better for your body and you can stay hydrated so you can rock your Disney adventure.

Interesting. Can't wait to see how this unfolds.
If you are drinking the 1000 cans of Coke necessary to make 4-methylimidazole a cancer risk, it is safe to assume that you have bigger problems to worry about. Coke as a cancer risk is yet another "boy who cried wolf" story that will make people ignore credible threats.

This definitely can't be a supply issue, there's no way all of WDW or even all of MK just happen to run out of Coke. I am looking forward to the unraveling of this mystery!

I think there's a reason why I've never once heard about that happening. Of course water can kill you - You can drown in it. But I've yet to hear from anyone dying from drinking too much of it.

I feel that it is hard to do if you don't force yourself to that point, but it does happen.

Clearly you don't watch NCIS... It was a plot-line last week.
It happens more often that you think. Of course the only time it really hit the news wire was when it was connected to a popular game system.

One of those stories is 5 years old, and another one is 10 years old. I'm sure any of us can google and find an article about someone dying of a hot dog overdose.
And your point being? The simple fact it that it does happen from time to time regardless if you hear it or not. All I did was pull the first three news stories that came up on Google.

Oh yes. Everything can kill you. Heck, breathing can kill you and it's sorta necessary. Like my old man says, you're on your path to death from the day your born. Live it up. And he's about to arrive at the big 4-0! :lookaroun:lol:
Just like anything else, here lies the wisdom in the term: "Everything in moderation."
When I order coffee at Starbucks I often get 'that look' from the Barristas because I like my coffee sweet....with Splenda. I order my trenta iced-coffee with 9 Splendas and an oatmeal with 4 Splendas. Then I announce that: yes, I like things sweet, yes, I have to watch my calorie intake, and, yes, if you ever hear of someone dying of Splenda-poisoning it was me. :lol:
