People Are Using Coca-Cola as Tanning Oil and They Really Shouldn't

Apparently, there's a new trend where people who don't have tanning oil improvise . . . by putting COCA-COLA all over their bodies before they go out in the sun.

Growing up I remember my MOM mixing baby oil and Iodine!

And they say the caramel color in the Coke helps bronze them up good and quick.

Unfortunately, it's a terrible idea.

Coke contains a lot of chemicals, but none of them provide any SPF protection . . . so you're really just accelerating the chance of BURNING your skin and potentially even developing skin cancer down the line.
