One poor Redditor, Toastedsars, just showed us an essential (and gross) science lesson.
This Guy Just Taught Us The Dangers Of Mixing Baking Soda And Coca Cola Inside Your Body
#1
"About thirty minutes ago I made a really poor decision. I had just finished eating dinner, stuffed shells with alfredo sauce, and knew my stomach was going to disagree within the hour."
#2
I mixed up a glass of baking soda and water to help with my intestinal woes, and was then offered a shot of whiskey by my SO. I didn't think for one second that this may have dire consequences, not for one blissfully naive second.
#3
I pour myself a chaser of coke, take a swig, and shot the whiskey. Within seconds I'm in bed laying on my left side, bloated and feeling pretty dreadful.
#4
I get up and grab a towel, thinking a shower will help relieve the ooky feelings I was dealing with. Well, two steps out of my door I'm burping, then throwing up in my mouth.
#5
I ran to the bathroom and before I could get into position, vomit is rocketing out of my body with quite a bit of force. So much force that not only was it projecting out of my mouth, but also violently shooting out of my left nostril.
#6
It was quick, and relatively silent, as the other 5 people in my house had no idea what massacre was happening in the bathroom. It was also the most mucusy vomit I've ever had to deal with. Unfortunately I shot my stomach's contents all over the toilet seat and bathtub. On the bright side, my sinuses are clear as day now, and my stomach feels fantastic.
#7
TL;DR I drank baking soda and water to help with digestion, drank some coca cola afterwards, then rocket vomited mucusy vomit all over the bathroom.
#8
One Reddit user rushed to advise him that things could have been more regrettable.
#9
Another were thankful for this commonsense science lesson.
#10
One Redditor even shared this lovely story:
#11
One commenter needed to think about doing an experiment.

We're so blessed to have the Internet to show us these profitable life lessons.
Pro tip: when you're now having intestinal issues, avoid taking shots.
