If you were stranded without food or water, could you prolong your life with Coca-Cola?

Yes. If you are on a desert island and there was no water, you would collapse and start to die within a week. Coke is mostly water, so if a container washed up on the beach loaded with family packs of Coke, it could be substituted for water. Hopefully its not Diet Coke as the calories would also help you survive longer than just drinking water alone.

Problem is though, that it does not contain other vital ingredients, so although this sounds incredible, if you had McDonalds Cheese Burgers and Coke, you could survive for years. Its not certain how healthy you would be at the end, but its probably a lot better than some diets people have survived on in ancient prisons, and equivalent to the diets of many modern day teenagers I know.
