Things you can do with Coke
Here're some of the stuff that you can do with a can of
COKE other than to drink it.
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.
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.
Clean corrosion from car battery terminals.
Pour a can of carbonated Coca-Cola over the terminals to
bubble away the corrosion.
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.
Apply 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.
