Yes, dark soft drinks often contain phosphoric acid and so can help break up bezoars or flush blockages in feeding tubes too.
I hope youâre alright now

In case Iâm not the last person to know, three out of three medical professionals recommended Coca Cola for removing a piece of dinner lodged in my throat. It took a couple of hours, but it worked. 10/10 would recommend but also 0/10 would definitely not recommend.

Iâm better, thanks and thanks also for the info. I ended up at Box Hill before the coke finally worked. The doctor had just given us the update that the fast track wait time was out to 2 hours and recommended that I just keep sipping it.

Thatâs some interesting knowledge, thanks for sharing! Hope youâre okay, that doesnât sound fun at all.

Iâm glad that it worked and youâre on the mend!

That sounds horribly unpleasant, Iâm glad the cola solution worked.
That urgent care clinic was the one I went to for my finger impalement. The last time I was in Bayswater that entire building didnât exist, it was all quite a surprise.

I did know that there was a Coles in Bayswater, I had no idea there were shops on the lower level. I hope they were able to help de-impale your finger, that sounds equally unpleasant.
