To clean a toilet: Pour a can of Coca-Cola into the toilet bowl.
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 a 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.

AND WE DRINK THIS STUFF!

FYI: The active ingredient in Coke is phosphoric acid.
It's pH is 2.8. It will dissolve a nail in about 4 days.
The distributors of coke have been using it to clean the engines of
their trucks for about 20 years!

Drink up.

When New Coke came out, my parent's business was consigned 20 tractor trailer loads of it. After about a year sitting the warehouse, it ate through the cans.

Heh, the sugar in Coke is worse for your teeth than the acid.

Usually I don't walk around with a mouth full of Coke, either...

Urban ledgend... One of the better ones too. You can use almost any kind of pop to bake a ham, but Dr Pepper works best.

What a buncha BS!!

Well back in my flying days aboard our 727's we had some rain repellent we could spray onto the windshield if needed. It was some really nasty toxic stuff. We never used it because it was a bitch for the mechanics to clean off the windshield afterwards. Guess what got it off the windshield best... coca cola!
