Subject: Coke - Tried It, Thought It'd Work. It Didn't.
By Chain-Breaker Jennifer
In response to this BreakTheChain.org article.

Here are the specifics:


In many states the highway patrol carries two gallons of Coke in the truck to remove blood from the highway after a car accident.

Consider this: if an accident is brutal enough to cause the road to become flooded with blood, you’d need a lot more than 2 milk jugs’ worth of ANY liquid to rinse it away properly. And if it’s really as nail-dissolving as they’d have us believe, then it’s a terrible ecological threat to the roadside flora and fauna. We should complain to the authorities.


You can put a T-bone steak in a bowl of coke and it will be gone in two days.

Tried it. Thought it’d be cool. Didn’t work. Steak was well-marinated though. Should’ve used it with that "Moist ham" recipe in number 7 down there, ‘cause that stuff’s good.


To clean a toilet: Pour a can of Coca-Cola into the toilet bowl and let the "real thing" sit for one hour, then flush clean. The citric acid in Coke removes stains from vitreous china.

Tried it. Thought it’d be cool. Didn’t work.


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.

Tried it. Thought it’d be cool. It DID work. But then I tried it without the Coke and the Reynold’s wrap still did the job all on its own.


To clean corrosion from car battery terminals: Pour a can of Coca-Cola over the terminals to bubble away the corrosion.

We actually have a rusty old dead car battery in the garage. Tried it. Thought it’d be cool. It didn’t work. But then I tried it with some Reynold’s wrap (no Coke) and it came off beautifully. Maybe we should be worried about the Reynold’s wrap here.


To loosen a rusted bolt: Applying a cloth soaked in Coca-Cola to the rusted bolt for several minutes.

Tried it. Thought it’d be cool. It didn’t work.


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.

This does work. And it’s good. Also, turkey breast marinated in Sprite is delicious. It’s true. Ah, vending machine cuisine.


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.

Tried the laundry one. It didn’t work. Except the road haze one kinda did. But it left my windshield all sticky. Next time I used Windex, and that REALLY worked (who knew?). A lot better than sticky brown pop. Who are all these people trying this stuff on their windows and batteries and stuff? Or are they just claiming they’ve tried it in the hopes that some doofus like me will copy them? Well, I tried it. And it wasn’t a very good method of cleaning road haze. What I suffer in the name of scientific research.


For Your Info:


The active ingredient in Coke is phosphoric acid. Its pH is 2.8. It will dissolve a nail in about 4 days.

Coke actually has a pH of 3. Yes, Coke contains phosphoric acid. So do a lot of edible things. Beer also has a pH of 3. And vinegar. And you know what’s TEN times more acidic than coke, being pH 2? Lemon juice.

As for the nail. Tried it. Thought it’d be cool. It didn’t work.


To carry Coca-Cola syrup (the concentrate) the commercial truck must use the Hazardous material place cards reserved for highly corrosive materials.

Not true. And if it was, the lemon trucks would really be in trouble. Also, I used to work at McDonald’s, where we had boxed concentrate that spilled sometimes. It was not acidic to the skin. At least not any more than beer. Also, the concentrate comes in plastic bags stored in cardboard boxes. Violently powerful acids aren't usually packaged in soft, thin, plastic & paper containers.


The distributors of coke have been using it to clean the engines of their trucks for about 20 years!

Oh, please! Maybe they should buy some Reynold’s Wrap though, ‘cause that stuff kicks ass.

I bet the person who made up these lies about Coke is a Pepsi drinker.

Have A Coke and A Smile?













I think not.

I drink water more, and tea of course.

I have the occasional Coke when I get McDonalds.

Definitely Coke! Something's gonna kill me anyway, so I might as well be happy .

Water

i love water

I love coke but I'm pregnant. Lately, I drink A LOT of sparkling water.
Red Perrier.

Cola.


I quit drinking pop (soda, whatever) when I was about 12 when I realized I didn't actually like any of it all that much, and the damn bubbles just hurt my throat.

Now even the smell of cola makes me ill.


My drink of choice? Pure orange juice, the kind with added calcium and/or vitamin D, depending on the brand. I like Tropicana.

water

i dont like fizzy drinks

On average I drink:

1-2 cups of coffee a day
1 can of soda
2 glasses of juice
and many, MANY glasses of water

along with this, lately I've been eating a lot of raw fruits and veggies, which help with hydration

I can totally tell now when I am even just a little dehydrated, the wonky energy levels, my contacts dry out easier, I get little headaches, etc...

in other words, I'm ALL about the water party

I drink water a lot because it helps flush toxins and fat.

I've cut caffeine out but every once in a while I have to have a Coke but everything in moderation. A 2 liter could be consumed but a small 12 oz bottle works as well.

Mythbusters is a cool show, I love the marathons.

Is there really a difference??...

I try to drink more water, but I need something sweet every now and then. Thats when Dr. Pepper will do the trick.

btw...coca-cola ribs are good!!

DR Pepper is the best !

no doubt!

Byron has a good choice of drink.

Coke with ice. .

More people die each year from drinking too much water then from dehyrdration. Very common in marathoning.
