Since We Were Talking About Having a Pop the Other Day:

What will it be coke or water. (got this
in an e-mail)
1. 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.
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 and let
the "real thing" sit for one hour, then
flush clean. The citric acid in
coke removes stains from vitreous china.
4. To remove rust spots from chrome car
bumpers: rub the bumper with a
rumpled-up piece of reynolds wrap
aluminum foil dipped in coca-cola.
5. To clean corrosion from car battery
terminals: pour a can of coca-cola
over the terminals to bubble away the
corrosion.
6. To loosen a rusted bolt: applying a
cloth soaked in coca-cola to the
rusted bolt for several minutes.
7. 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 a sumptuous brown gravy.
8. 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.
9. It will also clean road haze from
your windshield.
For your info:
1. The active ingredient in coke is
phosphoric acid. Its ph is 2.8. It
will
dissolve a nail in about 4 days.
1 phosphoric acid also leaches calcium
from bones and is a major
contributor to the rising increase in
osteoporosis.
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!
Now the question is, would you like a
coke or a glass of water?

Atleast I know if I eat some nails, I can
get rid of them with coke. Lol.
It's pretty gross when you think about it
though. Will stop me from drinking it.

Im a pepsi girl...Wonder if its as bad as
coke? I have heard that it's got a
different chemical make up.
I used to drink like 4 cans of the stuff a
day...Barff. I stoped drinking it and
lost 10 pounds without even trying in
about 2 months.
Sugar is baaaadd!
But tastes sooooo good!

care.....Just maybe i'll switch to pepsi.

Hey.. Like 4 days ago I was watching
mythbusters with shawn and alot of that
stuff isnt true.. It only cleans a
battery terminal because its a liquid,
water works just as well.... The t-bone
steak just falls appart but what would u
expect for sitting in liquid for so long?
The penny did in fact get chiner but it
didnt dissapear.. A tooth got brown and
abit smaller, but coke has alot of sugar
and sugar causes cavities as we all know
so yet again what would u expect? Yes it
cleans a chrome bumper better then
anything else, but its sticky so I wouldnt
use it to do that.. Some things are true
but not all of it.. Dont always believe
what you hear.. If you want to really
find out its true, go buy a case of coke
and do some experiments.. Also it wont
take oil out of a shirt it just stains the
shirt brown. Use oxyclean instead..

Did no one go to the link I posted? It
goes along with the original post and says
that there is nothing harmful about coke.

apparently not, which is how this crap
gets propagated in the first place. ;-)
oooh! Coke is bad! Must be true!
Snopes.Com is the first place I check when
I get alarmist, spurious, suspicious
forwarded emails like this coke one, which
has been circulating the 'net for years
now. Urban legends.

actually, I was well aware of the snopes
sight. I knew the information wasn't
true....I just thought it was funny. I
actually collect coke stuff as my dad did
before me. My home is filled with it and
I actually dont' know what to do with it
all. I like coke memorabilia but I
really don't like coke too much. I'd
rather have a pepsi anyway.
