Coca-Cola Original undergoes a dramatic change when left untouched for 100 days.

As the liquid evaporates, it leaves behind a thick, sticky syrup – a clear indicator of its high sugar content.

In contrast, Coca-Cola Zero tells a different story.

Known as the sugar-free sibling, it almost completely vanishes after the same 100-day period, leaving barely any residue.

This stark difference highlights its unique sugar-free composition.

This experiment visually represents the ingredients and their long-term breakdown.

The sugary syrup from regular Coke is a tangible reminder of the sugar in each sip, while Coke Zero’s near-total evaporation underscores its lack of sugar.
