It'll be fine as long as I don't actually swallow it right..?

Personally, I still wouldn't risk it. I would likely have a strong mouth wash on hand to swish around and spit out. Lots of people are sick with the SN method- even after taking antiemetics. So- I'm not sure how long the cola would remain anyway.

I also tend to think breathing will start to become an issue as the SN takes affect so- I would think it would be more comforting to have our mouths free to breathe.

Is that because mouthwashes are much better at washing away the horrible tastes?

It adds an unnecessary variable to your protocol. If it is just for washing your mouth after the terrible taste of SN, it's a bad idea. If cola has mattered so much for your life and you understand the risk (though i think it is very small), it's worth it.

I guess so. Some people have talked about coating their mouth with some sort of gel beforehand. Although, I would worry it would mix with the SN going down.

I think the problem with things like cola, fruit juices, wine is the acidity- breaking the nitrite into nitrate faster. Maybe it's ok held in the mouth without swallowing but, I'd be nervous to risk it. I think SN is supposedly so strong too. I don't know how well it would even mask it afterwards.

Yeah I guess mouth wash would be better.. or perhaps sucking on a lolipop and spitting it out

Truthfully, I'd avoid any food substances. Not sure how sugar would affect the process. It just feels like a risk anyway- to try and suicide. Really with any method. I suppose I think it's best to try and stick to the protocols to give it the best chance of working.

I'm just worried the horrible taste left in my mouth might make it more likely to throw up and spill out all the SN.. after listening to what you've said, I do agree I should probably avoid any food substances tho (I guess I might try mouth wash rather than something edible)
Thanks for the info
