The many uses of COCA-COLA

[Juniper]

USES OF COKE

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 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 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.


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. 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 glass of
water or coke? It makes you think doesn't it.

All just urban legend....complete and utter fabrication.

Amazing what people will believe..........

Go HERE for some good reading.

But let's make it easy and reproduce it here:


Many of the entries above are just simple household tips involving Coca-Cola. That you can cook and clean with Coke is relatively meaningless from a safety standpoint -- you can use a wide array of common household substances (including water) for the same purposes; that doesn't necessarily make them dangerous. The fact is that all carbonated soft drinks contain carbonic acid, which is moderately useful for tasks such as removing stains and dissolving rust deposits (although plain soda water is much better for such purposes than Coca-Cola or other soft drinks, as it doesn't leave a sticky sugar residue behind). Carbonic acid is relatively weak, however, and people have been drinking carbonated water for many years with no detrimental effects.

The rest of the claims offered here are, in a word, stupid. Coca-Cola does contain small amounts of citric acid (from the orange, lemon, and lime oils in its formula) and phosphoric acid. However, all the insinuations about the dangers these acids might pose to people who drink Coca-Cola ignore a simple concept familiar to any first-year chemistry student: concentration. Coca-Cola contains less citric acid than orange juice does, and the concentration of phosphoric acid in Coke is far too small (a mere 11 to 13 grams per gallon of syrup, or about 0.20 to 0.30 per cent of the total formula) to harm anyone, no matter how much Coke he guzzles. The only people who proffer the ridiculous statements that Coca-Cola will dissolve a steak, a tooth, or a nail in a matter of days are people who have never actually tried any of these things, because they just don't happen. (Anyone who conducts these experiments will find himself at the end of two days with a whole tooth, a whole nail, and one very soggy t-bone.)

The next time you're stopped by a highway patrolman, try asking him if he's ever cleaned blood stains off a highway with Coca-Cola. If you're lucky, by the time he stops laughing he'll have forgotten about the citation he was going to give you.

:Q

 

[Atlantean]

I like to use it for drinking

 

[HansXP]

I prefer alcohol.

 

[DDad]

From personal experience (yes, I've done this a time or three) If a engine is mildly stuck, pull the plugs and pour coke in each cylinder- leave it for a day or two- usually will break one loose when nothing else will

 

[Loggerman]

Best thing for removing road slim off the windshield
Not that I look where I'm going,so keep your head up

Bologna strips paint from a car. Brake Fluid does the same. Believe me.

I use Coca Cola as a basting ingredient when I want to make Baked ham for the holidays!
