Coco-cola Unusual uses

I think because of teh acidic property of the soda, it made it possible to remove stains and rusts.

Prasadji You have mentioned just three, see the responses, i think it is slow poison lol

I used it to clean the clips that hold batteries in more then one appliance after a battery has stayed in too long and leaked and corroded the wires it works like a charm. I do know that if you place a chunk of watermelon in a cup of coca cola it will dissolve and turn liquid, is that a weird use? It is interesting how colas and other soft drinks were able to travel the world.

OMG if coco-cola does all that, could you imagine what its doing to your insides. That is one of many reasons why I don't drink that or pepsi. When a liquid can clean a coin or remove grease stains that is not good for you. Along with the sugar intake no way would I buy this product. I don't drink soda due to the sugar but I also don't like coco-cola, it just doesn't taste good to me.

hi yugasini, these are very good tips you mentioned. i didnt even know it would remove stains from fabric. i even thought that it would stain the cloth. now learned that it is the other way around. do you mean even on a white fabric? well, i will try. i got this curtain where there is something like rust in it. i enjoy coke when i get to eat something fatty. not always though. do it occasionally. i just think something in moderation would not hurt. ann

Thanks for sharing that yugasini! I had learned something new! =) Thank you. I soak my old coin collection to soda too. That is one of the reasons why I avoid soda. I think it will have a bad effect on my health. But I still drink Cola, not too much though. Anyway, anything that is excessive isn't good, right?

Here are some claims which have been made for Coca-cola (as an argument for not drinking it). While some things may work, many of them are tommy-rot. It makes for entertaining and educational reading, however: http://www.snopes.com/cokelore/acid.asp You may find it entertaining to see what else Snopes has collected about Coke (most of it false information and some of it hilarious): http://search.atomz.com/search/?sp-q=coca-cola&x=23&y=9&sp-a=00062d45-sp00000000&sp-advanced=1&sp-p=all&sp-w-control=1&sp-w=alike&sp-date-range=-1&sp-x=any&sp-c=100&sp-m=1&sp-s=0

Sreedhar, that is very useful information, at times coca cola goes flat if left for sometime and it can be pout into use in the way you have mentioned.I wonder if it cleans out our insides similarly ? and how safe is it for consumption? I am just joking since lime too has similar qualities and can be used for cleaning purposes , also excellent foe health - all the best and enjoy your evening

If you car battery terminals are all crusty with deposits, pour some Coke on them. just a little. That stuff will vanish.

yugasini i know why you are telling this. soft drinks like coca cola, pepsi they can eat away a man's teeth and are harmful for general health. We can drink occasionally say once in a month and not on a regular basis.

yugasini: Please look at this link http://www.organicconsumers.org/school/cocacola021605.cfm http://www.ehow.com/facts_5475536_bad-side-effects-coke.html it tells about side effectgs of coca-cola.

With its effectiveness in cleaning dirt and removing grease, what will happen if anyone actually DRINK it? Will it clean up our stomach and intestines? Why is Coca-cola still allowed to be sold as a drink? It should be displayed in the cleaning or poison section of the supermarket. We may even need a prescription to buy it.

I think I learned from some discussion here that some kind of explosion can happen when coca cola is mixed with mints...

Here in mexico a plummer will tell you to use a can of coca cola to try and unclog a kitchen sink. Once I called one, and he couldnt come for 5 or 6 hours. He told me about the coke. I did it, and to my surprise it worked. he said there is so much gas and other bad things in coca cola thats why it works on some drains. Glad to know I dont drink cokes.
