Just thought I would post this here, Interesting lol <img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/images/emoticons/embarassed.gif ALT=":O">)

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.

This is why we drink PEPSI products!! We're too busy CLEANING
with the coke!!

I knew Coca Cola was awesome! I have even been to the CocaCola museum in Atlanta, GA, but they didn't tell us these wonderful things!!!

My father used to use coke to clean his windshield, so I figured I'd try it on a cd that was giving me problems with skipping. I just carefully wiped it with some coke & then rinsed it under tap water and now it doesn't skip anymore <img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/images/emoticons/embarassed.gif ALT=":O">)

I don't about anybody else but when I read about using coke to loosen a rusted bolt (normally I would use a penatrating oil like WD-40) I was thinking if coke can do that to rust what will it do to my stomach. <img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/images/emoticons/eek.gif ALT=":eek">

There are some pretty good hints here. <img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/images/emoticons/smile.gif ALT=":)">

I used to work in this little greasy spoon type dinner off of Route 81 in Syracuse. (Hub Diner, for anyone who makes it out that way!). We used to clean the grill with 7UP. <img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/images/emoticons/laugh.gif ALT=":lol">
