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 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!

Well....we Were. Thanks a lot, Moonit. I just opened the frickin' bottle!!

FUCKING. FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCKING FUCKING FUCKING FUCKING FUCKING FUCKING FUCKING FUCKING FUCKING FUCKING FUCKING FUCKING. DAMMIT, JUST SAY IT!!!! SAY IT!!!!!!!!

Say what???? Fuck?

Gee has a clean mouth (must be that Coke). Don't try to corrupt her.

Then make that fornicate.

damn moonunit, priceless info for the millenium, they don't tell you that at he coke museum in atlanta, but you do get to taste strawberry/chocolate/raspberry and other various assorted coke flavors

If you put a nail (not galvanived) in a can of coke and leave it undisturbed for a month the nail will be gone! (depends on the size of the nail, obviously)

I always thought Pepsi left a corrosive feeling on my teeth. Any idea if it'll work in the above experiments? I guess I have a long winter coming up. I'll have something to do now.

don't know about the above things but, I once saw a NASCAR race where the crew poured two cans of Pepsi into the gearbox to seal a leak caused by something breaking. Apparently when the water boiled off this fixed the thing (this was during a pit stop in the middle of the race, and the car finished the race)

that says a lot for the sugary nastiness that is the base ingredient of pepsi good thing I drink a lot of Dr. Pepper - which has even more sugar and syrup in it.

Yeah, but Dr. P tastes SOOOO good! who cares how much sugar is in it.

caffeinated ham... I don't think I'll be able to forget that soon.

I'm really surprised that nobody here has mentioned the hooker study yet.

Oh my gosh. That was really funny. I must giggle.

The higher the spikes on the heels, the lower the IQ?

not true, my wife wears 5" heals at times, she also has some smokin knee high boots, she's a hottie and a nerd at the same time but obviously i am biased

ah hem....HEELS

Knee high boots are very cool.

No... the hooker study I'm referring to was a comparison between Coke and Diet Coke.

Well Simon,what,s up with the hooker study?Tell us about it!!

Well, J, back in the mid-80s there was a popular story, which may or may not have been an urban legend, that hookers would shake up a bottle of Coke and use it to, uh, "freshen up" after a trick. Anyway, a student at a university picked up on this and did a paper on the relative properties of Coke vs. Diet Coke when used as a post-coital spermicidal douche. They found that Diet Coke was more effective at killing the little hummers than regular Coke. I don't know how many of my tax dollars went into this, but I'm surprised that nobody in the corporation tried to capitalize on it. It couldn't have been nearly as disastrous as the "New Coke" fiasco in 85. And I truly envy the clever bastard who scored a grant to do that study.

He was clever,but a cola douche sounds sticky and gross,but I guess it,s cheaper than a box of Massingel.

Well, the problem with coke is the sugar, which would lead to a greatly increased chance of candidas(sp?) (douching with it... yeargh... instant yeast infection) Diet coke though... And it's got to be a unique sensation... all those little bubbles.

do women still douche? every woman I've talked to about it says she doesn't.

i was even told that you shouldn't something about bacteria balance (there are things there you need to keep)

just like the rocks in a tropical fish tank.

I,m going to have to quit trying to drink and read these boards at the same time,thanks Agatha I needed to wash my sheets anyway,I douche on occasion.

Douching...yuck! I do not douche, it's bad for you, but, if I did, I would use Diet Coke. Actually *Even Cowgirls Get the Blues* by Tom Robbins has a whole bit on douching, and a listing of herbs that you can use, but I just never felt the need.

But, You know, Sometimes......I just don't........feel fresh.

coke is bad for the labeato. milk drinkers make better lovers.

"labeato"...I love it! That almost beats my other favourite Sorabji quote "Loosers make blah blah".

No Douche, no tounge

I LOVE COKE (coca-cola that is)

It's the taste that refreshes!

coca cola---the brown waters of imperialism

It bubbles and bounces down through the ounces

My mom had this recipe for coke and lemon chicken and it's delicious. It was just coke, lemon and some sugar as a marinade. And don't forget that Simpsons episode where Lisa soaks her tooth in cola and with a small electrical charge into the mixture, a microscopic civilization developed...
