They have been marinating ribs in coke overnight in places like the Caribbean now for decades. We were doing it in the mid nineties and I always thought it was a traditional recipe. One night in coke, then another night in a Jack Daniels BBQ sauce, makes for some good ribs.

I wonder, does the acid in the soda help tenderize the meat? Or is it purely for the flavor.
