sugar into a concrete mixer and prevent construction and such

I used to work for a concrete precasting plant. A single 20oz bottle of coke will ruin ten cubic yards of concrete easily.

But it's even easier than that. You can spray forms/reinforcement with soda before the concrete is even poured, and it will ruin the pour because the concrete won't bond to the reinforcement.

That is a fact i am glad to have learned
