Are Coke and Mountain Dew Vegan?!
Answers:
That depends on whether or not you view sugar that has been filtered with bone char as vegan.
This is straight from the Coca-Cola web site.
"There is a small amount of edible acid present in many foods, including fruit juices, buttermilk, and soft drinks. These foods are not acidic enough to harm your body tissues -- in fact, your own natural stomach acid is much stronger. The consumption of soft drinks, including colas, does not cause weak bones. In fact, the amount of phosphorus found in soft drinks is similar to the level found in orange juice. Insufficient calcium intake, hormonal imbalances, lack of physical activity, and normal aging processes are the primary causes of weak bones. The rumor that "a tooth placed in a glass of a soft drink will vanish" is misleading. This in no way creates a real life situation. The teeth in your mouth are alive, not dead. They're exposed to Coke for only a short amount of time rather than sitting for days in a glass of Coke. Although many soft drinks are acidic in nature, under normal consumption conditions, they are no more acidic than many fruit juices, including orange juice. Because your teeth are constantly bathed by saliva, which helps buffer the effects of acids from beverages and foods, the effect on tooth enamel is greatly reduced. Finally, saliva contains minerals, such as calcium, phosphorus and fluoride, which replace any mineral loss from the tooth enamel. This natural protection is lost when an extracted tooth is placed in a glass of liquid. Unlike teeth, bones are never exposed directly to the foods and beverages we eat."

No. Only sodas that don't contain specific coloring agents and honey are considered vegan drinks. Vegan sodas are almost unheard of. Do you recognize the following?
-Maine Root
-Santa Cruz Organic
-Whole Earth
Well these are vegan sodas.
I'm sure some of the employees who work for Coke eat meat so by extension...it is not vegan
Ridiculous, eat a burger

No. They use refined sugar which passes through bone char during filtration process.
Isn't the point of being vegan to eat healthy?
What is your idea of "every now and then"?
No, make your own with brown sugar.
Yes, they are.
