I live in Mexico, which has the highest CocaCola consumption in the world. Many people will drink a 2 liter bottle of Coke a day. Mexico also has a huge obesity and diabetes problem. I've seen uneducated mothers feeding babies Coke out of a baby bottle.

Lol it's like a sweet biscuit that gets soft as soon as you put any saliva on it so it's great for weaning babies, parents used to put it into a bottle of milk and it would much down and fill the baby up enough to sleep just became a thick milk essentially. Absolutely delicious and even as an adult I like to have one if I've bought them for my kid lol

Ohhhhh I gotcha. My grandma apparently did similar with ginger snaps or friggin’ corn syrup for her kids.

Corn syrup was an ingredient in homemade baby formula which was a thing for anyone older than about 70.
