Why not stadardize on plastic coke bottle size and volume and just vary the nature of the constuents, after all that's what we basically do with urine (not coke bottles of coarse, apart from the odd patient that uses those anyway) John ________________________________ From: Clinical biochemistry discussion list [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Colley, Michael Sent: 22 September 2011 14:07 To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: separation techniques to while away the weekend But as I said, cans the same size.

And the volume of gas would not affect the weight. M.

(Haven't got any Coke easily to hand) Both Diet and Regular SINK despite the fact that the Diet does not contain the 35g sugar which is present in the Regular. A can of Regular weighs approx 5g more than the can of Diet (both 330 ml). What is providing the extra weight in the Diet 7-up? I look forward to seeing more reports after the next weekend. Michael From: Clinical biochemistry discussion list [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Hogan, Tim Sent: 18 September 2011 16:12 To: [log in to unmask] Subject: separation techniques to while away the weekend Just read article on useless information in our patient magazine. Did you know a can of diet coke floats in water and a can of regular coke sinks. So the next time you go to the take away and you are not sure who has the diet and who has the regular coke, ask for a bucket of water! Apparently its down to the extra 39g of sugar in a can of regular coke. Tim.
