Things you can do with Coca Cola....

Coca-Cola®

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


According to http://www.wackyuses.com/uses.html

Clean a toilet bowl. Pour a can of Coca-Cola into the toilet bowl. Let the real thing sit for one hour, then brush and flush clean. The citric acid in Coke removes stains from vitreous china, according to household-hints columnist Heloise.

Remove rust spots from chrome car bumpers. Rubbing the bumper with a crumpled-up piece of Reynolds Wrap aluminum foil dipped in Coca-Cola will help remove rust spots, according to household-hints columnist Mary Ellen.

Clean corrosion from car battery terminals. Pour a can of carbonated Coca-Cola over the terminals to bubble away the corrosion, according to Heloise.

Cook with Coca-Cola. The Coca-Cola Consumer Information Center offers a free packet of recipes including a Mustard Herb Dressing (an Italian style salad dressing made with one-half cup of Coca-Cola), a Twin Cheese Dip (requiring three-quarter cup of Coca-Cola and doubling as a sandwich filling), and Sweet-Sour Cabbage (using one-half cup of Coca-Cola and two tablespoons of bacon drippings).

Loosen a rusted bolt. Mary Ellen suggests applying a cloth soaked in a carbonated soda to the rusted bolt for several minutes.

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.

Remove grease from clothes. Empty a can of Coke into a load of greasy work clothes, add detergent, and run through a regular wash cycle. The Coca-Cola will help loosen grease stains, according to Mary Ellen.

I've heard of the toilet cleaner before, but none of the others

They look respectable enough...

I know that you can dip an old penny - or any other metal based currency - into cola and it will come out as good as new.

^ from that site:- (denoted 'of ambiguous or undetermined veracity') 'Coca-Cola's name was translated into Chinese as "bite the wax tadpole."'

I'd say that mixing Coca-Cola with equal volumes of Jack Daniel's then drinking it would qualify as a 'wacky use'...

"Fanta was invented by the Nazis."

I swear I saw Hitler drinking one in a History video, he went on to die.

Wow, happened in South Australia (where I am) and I didn't even know about it. Aussie humour

 

[TsLeng]

No...coca-cola in chinese isn't 'bite the wax tadpole'

Someone has been watching Mythbusters... It was a great episode!

 

[BMWteamPTG]

[Niels]

They tested it on meat and a penny, the meat looked kinda....a bit....well friggin discusting is the word The penny worked and yes the rust removal too, on Chrome I thought it was though.

EQUAL PARTS??!! You're hardcore, man! (And probably horrifically drunk by the time you've finished the can ).

 

[Joey D]

I'm pretty sure the Mythbusters already put this stuff to the test.

Anyone see what happens when you put some mentos into a 2L bottle of diet coke? Its like you've shaken the thing for ages. Is it really true it can get grease stains off laundry? I really gotta get some grease stains off my school uniform...

In this case... Coca-Cola? What's Coca-Cola?

There was also another video where someone poked a tiny hole on one of the caps and put a string throught it lined with mentos, so when the lid closed it would squirt out of the little hole and it was squirting even higher in that video for almost 3 minutes.

Oh, can you find it?

Oh, can you find it?

Uhh, its on a pretty inappropriate site, even if I link to it I think there will be some very NSFW pictures on it.

 

[Omnis]

just search "Mentos coke" or something on YouTube.

I've done this before. I works well.
