Stop Drinking Cola…Or Use It As a Cleanser
I can’t remember where I got these from, will have to google search for references, but check this out:
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 coca-cola 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-up piece of Reynolds Wrap aluminum foil dipped in coca-cola.
6. To clean corrosion from car battery terminals: Pour a can of coca-cola over the terminals to bubble away corrosion.
7. To loosen a rusted bolt: Applying a cloth soaked in coca-cola to the rusted bolt for several minutes.
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. It will also clean road haze from your windshield.
9.The active ingredient in coke is phosphoric acid. Its pH is 2.8. It will dissolve a nail in about 4 days.
10.To carry coca-cola syrup (the concentrate) the commercial truck must use the Hazardous material place cards reserved for Highly Corrosive materials.
11.The distributors of coke have been using it to clean the engines of their trucks for about 20 years!

You know how you go to a party and someone has styrofoam cups (!) and you pour coke into it? I swear it eats the styrofoam! Have to try pouring it under the hood to see if it cleans everything ….in warmer weather I will report back
