High school seniors everywhere are counting on too much Mountain Dew to help them practice safe sex. Who knew they'd be better off with Diet Coke?
Turns out doin' the Dew isn't going to destroy his sperm count (you'll just have to trust me on this one . . . she's running around the living room right now). But a 23-year-old study by researchers at Boston University's School of Medicine that found Coca-Cola has the makings of a good spermicide resurfaced this week to win an Ig Nobel Award - the prize handed out by Harvard University for "research that makes people laugh and then think."
The study, published in the 1985 New England Journal of Medicine, found Diet Coke was the best beverage to pour on your lower parts to kill off little swimmers. Brings a whole new meaning to bringing a little bubbly to bed to celebrate your consumation. It also sounds messy . . . and more than a little kinky.
But before you try it, you might want to read up on the other Ig Nobel Chemistry Prize Winner this year: a group of Taiwanese scientists who found sperm retained up to 70 percent mobility despite the extra fizz in the bedroom.
