Permalink  

1. Removes grease stains from clothing and fabric
2. Removes rust; methods include using fabric dipped in Coke, a sponge or even aluminum foil. Also loosens rusty bolts
3. Removes blood stains from clothing and fabric.
4. Cleans oil stains from a garage floor; let the stain soak, hose off.
5. Kills slugs and snails; the acids kills them.
6. Cleans burnt pans; let the pan soak in the Coke, then rinse.
7. Descales a kettle (same method as with burnt pans)
8. Cleans car battery terminals by pouring a small amount of Coke over each one.
9. Cleans your engine; Coke distributors have been using this technique for decades.
10. Makes pennies shine; soaking old pennies in Coke will remove the tarnish.
11. Cleans tile grout; pour onto kitchen floor, leave for a few minutes, wipe up.
12. Dissolves a tooth; Use a sealed containertakes a while but it does work.
13. Removes gum from hair; dip into a small bowl of Coke, leave a few minutes. Gum will wipe off.
14. Removes stains from vitreous china.
15. Got a dirty pool? Adding two 2-liter bottles of Coke clears up rust.
16. You can remove (or fade) dye from hair by pouring diet Coke over it.
17. Remove marker stains from carpet. Applying Coke, scrubbing and then clean with soapy water will remove marker stains.
18. Cleans a toilet; pour around bowl, leave for a while, flush clean.
19. Coke and aluminum foil will bring Chrome to a high shine.
20. Strips paint off metal furniture. Soak a towel in Coke and lay it on the paint surface.

Now can you imagine what is does to your stomach lining? Who needs the household and cleaning section at the hardware store when we have Coke.

That stuff is lethal, my brother in law was addicted and the Doctor warned him to stop drinking it.  He felt much better, and lost weight.

I knew someone who was a plant operator Lesley, used to drink it by the bucket load when he was working, stuffed his kidneys up and he ended up on dialysis.   Not sure if he is till alive.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MythBusters_(2003_season)#101_Uses_For_Cola

If you trust the MythBusters methodology, some of the claimed uses for Coca Cola were confirmed while others were debunked.

I haven't touched the stuff in a long time, but a friend who is a migraine sufferer "needs" a litre per day to stave off his attacks. He claims it's the caffeine that gives him the "protection". In fact my brother was trying to cut down on his coffee intake but found himself unconsciously substituting Coke.

It's a pity vinegar is not as palatable (as a drink) because it's actually very good for you.

We had a fire instructor at Rookies in Edinburgh back in 72 that would disappear every so often from class and come back smelling a bit flammable too Cloak..

Coke's not bad for making cheap bourbon drinkable either.. ;)
