Thom likes Coke and about 18 months ago I passed out from a coke bubble that was stuck in my chest. I was hot from working in the yard and drank it way too fast. I kid you not. It HURT so bad. Fortunately I was sitting on the floor when it happened. Thom even called 911. I came too as he was dialing. Needless to say, that put me off Coke.

Yikes V - back in Aust a few years ago I read an article in the newspaper about some women bursting a hole in her throat ( the part the food goes down sorry cant remember its name). She did exactly what you did was hot took a big gulp and it fizzed up in her throat with enough pressure to make a hole. She was in pain and eventually went to the doctor where they were shocked at the damage. They advised that this rarely happens but that pouring coke etc into a glass first would allow the burst of fizzy to occur in the glass rather than your throat. I still drink from a can when I have a soft drink sometimes but I always think of that story.
