Any sugar drink should do much the same. Davey Wavey says Coke makes a splendid toilet cleaner and that is why you should not drink it (unless you have a potty mouth?) Best regards, RA1 Quote
Members wayout Posted June 7, 2014 Members Posted June 7, 2014 To prove Coke does not belong in the human body, here are 20 practical ways you can use Coke as a domestic cleaner: Removes grease stains from clothing and fabric Removes rust; methods include using fabric dipped in Coke, a sponge or even aluminum foil. Also loosens rusty bolts Removes blood stains from clothing and fabric. Cleans oil stains from a garage floor; let the stain soak, hose off. Kills slugs and snails; the acids kills them. Cleans burnt pans; let the pan soak in the Coke, then rinse. Descales a kettle (same method as with burnt pans) Cleans car battery terminals by pouring a small amount of Coke over each one. Cleans your engine; Coke distributors have been using this technique for decades. Makes pennies shine; soaking old pennies in Coke will remove the tarnish. Cleans tile grout; pour onto kitchen floor, leave for a few minutes, wipe up. Dissolves a tooth; Use a sealed container…takes a while but it does work. Removes gum from hair; dip into a small bowl of Coke, leave a few minutes. Gum will wipe off. Removes stains from vitreous china. Got a dirty pool? Adding two 2-liter bottles of Coke clears up rust. You can remove (or fade) dye from hair by pouring diet Coke over it. Remove marker stains from carpet. Applying Coke, scrubbing and then clean with soapy water will remove marker stains. Cleans a toilet; pour around bowl, leave for a while, flush clean. Coke and aluminum foil will bring Chrome to a high shine. Strips paint off metal furniture. Soak a towel in Coke and lay it on the paint surface. Read More: http://www.trueactivist.com/20-established-uses-for-coke-proves-it-does-not-belong-in-the-human-body/ RA1 1 Quote
Guest Paragon Posted June 7, 2014 Posted June 7, 2014 Well, wouldn't that just mean you have clean insides after drinking Coke? If you don't like that, drink Coke Zero as it has zero bad things. Quote
Members RA1 Posted June 7, 2014 Members Posted June 7, 2014 wayout- Doesn't it get uncomfortable sticking your head into a bowl of Coke? Before the advent of car defrosters one could pour Coke on the outer windscreen and that would tend to keep it from fogging up. Yes, my parents owned at least one car that did not have a heater. When I was a child we drove to California in the winter. We had blankets and bricks which we heated at stops for heat. Interesting memory for me. Best regards, RA1 Quote

Members RA1 Posted June 7, 2014 Members Posted June 7, 2014 Actually, it was a 1946 Mercury, one of the first two to arrive after the war. One had a heater and the other did not. Obviously, my father got the one without the heater. My family had no comparison to the Beverly Hillbillies. We were neither rich nor hillbillies. I don't remember why we went to CA. Our family only took 3 vacations during my childhood. However, all were epic journeys. One to CA and two to Yellowstone Park. Otherwise my family worked all year round until I was at least 25. Now, as a pilot, I have traveled the world over and do little other than travel. As mentioned before, I have little interest in BEING anywhere and the adventure is the travel itself.
