       See what happens when you mix Coca Cola and Milk.
       Interesting reaction coke and milk
       The reaction of phosphoric acid (V) to proteins in the milk -
       they are cut and causes a precipitate
       The reaction of phosphoric acid with calcium contained in milk
       gives rise to a precipitate
       3Ca + 2H3PO4 ///\\\ Ca3(PO4)2 + 3H2

       It is a reaction of the Phosphoric Acid contained in the coca
       cola to the milk. Phosphoric Acid molecules attach to the milk
       giving them more density and separate out while the remaining
       liquid that makes up the milk and cocoa cola now being lighter
       floats on top. The solid matter is basically milk that has been
       curdled by the addition of the more acidic soda.
       Both items are acidic but coca-cola more so. In general,
       coca-cola has a pH of anywhere from 2.5-4.5 because of the
       Phosphoric Acid content where milk has a normal pH around 6.7
       (almost neutral, milk that is in the base range is usually
       mastitic).
       There are some studies to suggest that because of the high
       Phosphoric Acid content in most soft drinks that they can help
       to increase the likelihood that a person will develop
       Osteoporosis if they aren't getting enough Calcium in their
       diet. Coca-cola makes an excellent household cleaner - it can be
       used to take tarnish off of pennies and I've used it to degrease
       car engines. I will not drink any soft drinks.
