A new time-lapse video is sparking fresh debate between regular Coke and Coke Zero. The video shows exactly what happens when both are left out for 100 days.
Over that time, the Coke slowly evaporates and turns into a thick, sticky syrup. It’s a direct look at how much sugar is packed into a single glass of the classic soda.
Coke Zero, on the other hand, almost completely disappears. There’s barely any residue left in the glass, showing how different its ingredients are.
The person behind the video, Photo Owl Time Lapse, is known for doing unique experiments like this. Their style often highlights the strange or unnoticed sides of everyday things.
In this case, the Coke time-lapse shows a clear difference between the two drinks. One glass ends up with gooey sludge, the other is nearly clean.
The video also plays relaxing music in the background. Songs like “Fluid” by Borrtex and “Walk” by Cushy make the footage feel calm but powerful. It’s not just a science test though. The video makes you think about what you’re putting into your body and how ingredients behave over time.
At one point, the creator mentions: Coca-Cola has been the official drink of Santa Claus since 1931. Little facts like that pop up throughout the video.
By the end, it’s more than just soda in a glass. It becomes a message about health, habit, and how easy it is to ignore what’s right in front of us.
