Orange, lemon, lime, lavender, cinnamon, coriander and nutmeg? Yeah, 
that's a pretty random combination. I was expecting to see vanilla, but 
I guess cinnamon and nutmeg is similar.

And then phosphoric acid.

Yes, that's right.

Would you believe the things that are put into food and we put into our 
mouths?

What's so bad about phosphoric acid?

Nobody's worried about citric acid, and I personally pour acetic acid 
all over my chips...

Not much as far as I can see.
It does associate with phosgene and an acid to boot. :)

Sprinkling on chemical names is like sprinkling on de-appetiser.

Other people like to have ethanol in their beverages.

I personally don't. A bit of 3,7-dimethylxanthine is ok though -- after
all I'm neither a cat nor a dog.

That's what I was thinking. Yet there is phosphoric acid in most of the 
food we eat every day.
Meanwhile the caffeine is the actual danger:
"Caffeine: It's best not to store caffeine in any amount. Caffeine can 
kill people in relatively small doses. The median lethal dose for an 
adult human is around 10 grams, or approximately one third of an ounce. "

You are talking about caffeine supplements, surely?
Caffeine in tea and coffee is measured in milligrams. You would need up 
to a hundred cups to have a 50% chance of dying.

My Lady Caffeine wakens me in the morning. I would not do without her.

If you're making your own cola, it's quite feasible that you have "lying 
around" enough caffeine for at least a 50% chance of dying. A good idea 
to have a rough idea how lethal it is, so you can take precautions (eg 
not store it in a jar next to the sugar and salt...).

We use butanone a lot at work, and everybody treats it like if you get 
one drop in your mouth you will die instantly. I looked it up, the L50 
amount is something like 500 ml. That surprised a lot of people.
