Coke-a-cola

[Smirks]

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 Coke 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 piece of aluminium foil dipped in Coke.

6. To clean corrosion from car battery terminals: Pour a can of Coke over the terminals to bubble away the corrosion.

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

8. To bake a moist ham: Empty a can of Coke into the baking pan, wrap the ham in foil and bake. Thirty minutes before the ham is finished, remove
foil, allowing 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. Run through the regular cycle. The Coke will help
loosen grease stains. It will also clean road haze from your windshield.

FYI:
1. The active ingredient in Coke is phosphoric acid. Its 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!!!!

Holy FUCK! Imagine what that shit does to the digestive tract!!! Not to mention the teeth!(technically part of the digestive system) I dig an ice cold coke once in awhile, but thankfully probably only 2-3 times a year. Not a big soda drinker myself. Imagine the peeps out there who are addicted to that stuff!!

Wow.

**raises hand**

I drink anywhere from 2 to 6 cans of coke a day. :)

I clean my golf club heads in it!!

It is the real thing!!!!

[northwoodsamyII]

ok, coke is bad-which I knew, but this is really gross, "chicken" is no longer chicken, and the pesticide to real food ratio in my food is highly skewed. I'm just going to starve myself now.

TO MY FRIENDS, I'M NOT A DRUNK DRIVER...I'M PRESIDENT ELECT.

[csmooth24]

and to think I used to drink about 6 cans of coke a day...I can't drink any sort of pop anymore...

Christalmighty!! Now I know why I get the feeling my intestines and teeth are being slowly eaten away at whenever I drink the stuff!

it's also 99% water...

very diluted. it would probably only be a problem if it sat in your stomach or digestive tract for several days.

[edvedderismyhero]

Well its a good thing I'm a Pepsi drinker eh??

Or is it the lesser of two evils?

But thats so interesting, I've never heard of all those things Coke can do, I'll think twice before I drink it again..

Did my dad send you this in a forward? Because he forwarded this exact list to me like two days ago, and he sends forwards to a list of like 40 people who probably don't give a fuck about 90% of what he sends (I know I don't... he likes to send sappy stories and stuff... and he also sends the same forwards every few months...) I didn't know you knew my dad, but okay. I mean, he's really not such a hip man, but if you get along, have fun. /images/tongue.gif <-- i hope i'm remembering correctly and what i just typed is really one of them faces. otherwise it just says "tongue" essentially. And that's sort of weird.

Anyway, in that same email was some stuff about water, how like 75% of Americans or something are dehydrated. Then it went into the coke thing. Interesting.

It could be worse, tho, you could be drinking PEPSI! Eeeeeeyuck!

I love coke, I can't do without it... mmmmmmmm. Far as I know no one has really died from Coca-cola yet, so hey... Maybe my stomach is disintegrating, but it sure tastes good. Good and American. One of the few things, eh? (I'm american by the way... in case that "eh" threw you). /images/smile.gif
