What's more addicting...coke or G?
Answers:
Coke. It has caffeine in it.
The phosphoric acid in coke keeps you thirsty.
The sugar makes you stay addicted to Coke. One average can of coke contains 7 1/2 teaspoons of sugar.
So, it is a fantastic formula: One to induce thirst and the other to stay addicted. Caramel (for color) and caffeine to keeps you wanting that "kick" that you get only from drugs like Caffeine.
Carbon Dioxide gives you that additional feeling of 'taste'.
You can make Coke at home using water from your kitchen faucet. It is not that difficult.
As for G, the smell of ginger to give it that 'jiff' feeling. It is just a flavor. It appeals to the taste of some. But it is just as addicting as coke because of sugar.
Additional tidbit: Did you know the original formula (way back when) contained some small amounts of cocaine to keep you coming back for more? They do not add that anymore because it is a controlled substance now. The word Coke came from that word when cocaine was not a known addictive drug at that time.

People have addictive personalities, or traits. Some can do a substance or an activity and never think of it again, whereas others can become addicted with one go at it. Human Nature is a funny thing.
I shot up heroin, didn't like it, never did it again, a friend overdosed on that crap after 5 years of methadone to quit it.
