Re:Mars Bar from 1991 found – and it's 20g bigger than today's by jandrewrogers on Monday August 10, 2026 @09:56PM (#49252433)
Under typical conditions the half-life of sucrose in coke is hours to a couple weeks via acid catalysis. In the body the half-life is seconds to minutes via enzymatic catalysis.

The half-life of sucrose is greatly reduced by acidity and to a lesser extent temperature. It is stable for centuries in a neutral pH when kept cool but that describes almost nothing we do with sugar in foods.
