COKE
1. In many states (in the USA) the highway patrol carries two gallons of coke in the truck to
remove blood from the highway! after a car accident.
2. You can put a T-bone steak in a bowl of Coke and it will be gone in two days
3. 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.
4. To remove rust spots from chrome car bumpers: Rub the bumper with a rumpled-up piece of Reynolds wrap aluminum foil dipped in Coca-Cola.
5. To clean corrosion from car battery terminals: Pour a can of Coca-Cola over the terminals to
bubble away the corrosion.
6. To loosen a rusted bolt: Applying a cloth soaked in Coca-Cola to the rusted bolt for several
minutes.
7. 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.
8. 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.

2. To carry Coca-Cola syrup (the concentrate) the commercial truck must use the Hazardous
material place cards reserved for Highly corrosive materials.
3. The distributors of Coke have been using it to clean the engines of their trucks for about 20

I will take the Dr. Pepper.
There is a Tv show called "Myth Busters" that did a show on the powers of Coke. It does do several on the list but I hate to say it wont eat a tbone or a nail. It does GREAT on engines and cleaning though!
and Dr. Pepper is PERFECT.
That was how you meant to end that post, right AM?
Disclaimer: This post was not meant to discourage any Dr. Pepper afficionados from drinking their beverage of choice. The above information only pertained to the actual "Coca-Cola" product, and not its antithesis, Dr. Pepper.

while i was reading that part about the water, i drank an entire glass of it in about 3 seconds. maybe i should print that out as a reminder to drink water more often.
I did the same thing, Jes. Slowing my metabolism by 3%??!!? That's all it took for me. It's going about turtle speed as it is.
I. MUST. GO. CHUG. H2O.
I'll take a Coke please.
Coke, I get so much more use out of it.
I et the point though. If you've ever had a kidney stone as I have, your water intake becomes VERY important. teh down side of the water is that it also flushes the vitamins and minerals out of your body and you have to pee a lot. My wife has such a low heart rate they ask her to consume more salt. Drinking too much water makes her light headed and weak.

Interesting info on water. I would be interested in reading more about it. Would you mind posting a link of where we could find more info? Thanks.
Um... I'll have a Dr. Pepper please! Oh, Now I see that Steve said the same darn thing! Steve, stop stealing my lines!
I am so thirsty right now, but my water is downstairs. Curse this laziness that prevents me from getting my much-needed water!
