You might not want to drink Coke after you read this:

In many states (in the USA) the highway patrol carries two gallons of Coke in the truck to remove blood from the highway after a car accident.


You can put a T-bone steak in a bowl of Coke and it will be gone in two days.


To clean a toilet: Pour a can of Coca-Cola into the toilet bowl and……Let the "real thing" sit for one hour, then flush clean. The citric acid in Coke removes stains from vitreous china.


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.


To clean corrosion from car battery terminals: Pour a can of Coca-Cola over the terminals to bubble away the corrosion.


To loosen a rusted bolt: Applying a cloth soaked in Coca-Cola to the rusted bolt for several minutes.


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 the ham is finished, remove the foil, allowing the drippings to mix with the Coke for sumptuous brown gravy.


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:
The active ingredient in Coke is phosphoric acid. It’s PH is 2.8. It will dissolve a nail in about 4 days.


To carry Coca-Cola syrup (the concentrate) the commercial truck must use the hazardous material place cards reserved for highly corrosive materials.


The distributors of Coke have been using it to clean the engines of their trucks for about 20 years!

coco cola was always disgusting. I don;t know how people can like its flavor and call it tasty. xB

I once had an addiction to Sunny D. And everytime my mom told me to stop I said it was healthy. Cause I thought it was real orange juice. lol

The Coca-Cola name in China was first read as "Kekoukela", meaning "Bite the wax tadpole" or "Female horse stuffed with wax", depending on the dialect. Coke then researched 40,000 characters to find a phonetic equivalent "kokou kole", translating into "happiness in the mouth."

Coke can be used to relieve the sting from Jelly Fish. All you have to do is pour the Coke over the sting (beats peeing on it!)

If you put a can of diet Coca Cola and a can of regular Coca Cola in a swimming pool, the can of regular Coke will sink, but the can of Diet Coke will float!

My 5 yr old son, experimenting with a permanent marker, decided to have a field day drawing on my hall carpet with a permanent marker. Confused of what I would do to remove the large drawing, after trying almost everything even carpet cleaner, I decided, what the heck, I would pour a 20oz bottle of coke over the stain to see what happened. To my surprised.... After letting the coke set and gently using a scrub brush, the permanent marker stain was lifted. I added a little soapy water which consisted of tide and water to gently wipe over area. To my amazement the carpet look new again.

Spray an inexpensive cola on your grass once a month for super green grass which remains greener than other lawns throughout the fall and winter months. This really works! Also, for green grass and no bugs, combine: 1 can of coke, 1 cup of ammonia and 1/4 cup of dish soap. Spray on grass once a month.

Many highway patrols carry coca-cola in the back of their patrol cars because it "eats" the blood off the concrete and looks like water therefore it is not so noticeable as kitty litter or sawdust. In case of accidents or worse.

Pour a can of Coke on your car battery's connections to remove that cruddy corrosion. A clean connection makes it easier to start your car.

Rub the chrome bumper of your car with a crumpled-up piece of Reynolds Wrap aluminum foil dipped in Coca-Cola to remove rust spots.

Add 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 (works on many other stains as well).

Pour Coke down your drain once a month to keep it from clogging - cheaper than Draino.
