Help me with this. So I am trying to prove to my nieces about how soda is bad for your health and I want to do a little experiment just for the fuck of it. But I can't really think of one except for the one with the eggs. Anyone can pitch in some ideas?

That's difficult, because it totally depends on what you want to illustrate. Are you trying to show her that Sucrose is bad for your body/teeth. What is the actual point you're trying to prove?

>>16003643 Well I am trying to prove that it is just generally bad for your health. But I am thinking showing that is bad for their teeth would be easier to experiment and show.

>>16003902 Well, the problem is that the corrosion takes quite a while, so you can't really show what drinking soda does to your teeth in the short period of time that it is in your mouth. Otherwise it's like you said, put an egg in soda and let it break down the eggshell. Coins with oxidisation on them should also be effected over the course of a few days. The worst part with soda is unfortunately very hard to illustrate, that being that it promotes growth of bacteria which thrive on the sugars and eat through the enamel in your teeth. Plaque is a hard thing to show, unless you can feel it on your teeth
