Coke facts ....(and I willingly put this in my body....why?)

  • In many states the highway patrol carries two gallons of Coke in the truck to remove blood from the highway after a car accident
  • You can put a T-bone steak in a bowl of Coke and it will be gone in two days
  • To clean a toilet: Pour a can of Coca-cola into the toilet bowl and ....Let the "real thing" sit for one hour, and then flush it clean. The citric acid in Coke removes stains from vitreous china.
  • To remove rust spots from chrome 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 coca-cola over the terminals to bubble away corrosion
  • To loosen a rusted bolt: applying a cloth soaked in Coca-cola to the rusted bolt for several minutes
  • 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 coke will help loosen grease stains and will also clean road haze from your windshield
  • The active ingredient in Coke is phosphoric acid and its pH is 2.8 which will dissolve a nail in only 4 days
  • To carry coca-cola syrup (the concentrate) the commercial truck must use the hazardous material place cards reserved for highly corrosive materials
  • The distributors of coke have been using it to clean the engines of their trucks for about 20 years
