Just when you thought you knew everything....
1. In many states the highway patrol carries two gallons of Coke in the trunk to remove blood from the highway after a car accident.
2. You can put a T-bone steak in a bowl of coke and it will be gone in two days.
3. To clean a toilet: Pour a can of Coca-Cola into the toilet bowl....... Let the "real thing" sit for one hour, then flush clean.
4. The citric acid in Coke removes stains from vitreous china.
5. To remove rust spots from chrome car bumpers: Rub the bumper with a crumpled-up piece of Reynolds Wrap aluminum foil dipped in Coca-Cola.
6. To clean corrosion from car battery terminals: Pour a can of Coca-Cola over the terminals to bubble away the corrosion.
7. To loosen a rusted bolt: Applying a cloth soaked in Coca-Cola to the rusted bolt for several minutes.
8. To bake a moist ham: Empty a can of Coca-Cola into the baking pan;wrap the ham in aluminum foil, and bake. Thirty minutes before he ham is finished, remove the foil, allowing the drippings to mix with the Coke for a sumptuous brown gravy.
9. To remove grease from clothes: Empty a can of coke into a load of greasy clothes, add detergent, And run through a regular cycle. The Coca-Cola will help loosen grease stains. It will also clean road haze from your windshield.
FYI: 1. The active ingredient in Coke is phosphoric acid. It's pH is 2.8. It will dissolve a nail in about 4 days.
2. To carry Coca Cola syrup (the concentrate) the commercial truck must use the Hazardous material place cards reserved for Highly Corrosive materials.
3. The distributors of coke have been using it to clean the engines of their trucks for about 20 years!
Drink up (or not)!

I've only drank about a quarter of a can a few summers ago because I had nothing else and it was sick. I like the slurpees but rarely get them and if I do, I get only a bit on the top of the rest of it.

ninja sweatdrop I drink several cans of coke a day. I really like the stuff, and I hate Pepsi. (I've even taken the Pepsi challenge, coke better) And yes, I have heard about...erm...some of those things... I suppose the biggest problem with me is that there's never anything else to drink in my house besides water or milk, my dad drinks coke all of the time. I would gladly drink juice, but my parents never seemed to like the idea of juice other than when someone is sick. I should talk to them about it.

Tell your parents that you want to become healthier. Plus, there should always be water in your house, it's the best at hydrating.
