What You Can Do with Coca-Cola

Coca-Cola has more uses than just providing energy for the body.

Coca-Cola is a carbonated soft drink created by Doctor John Pemberton in Atlanta, Georgia. He created the formula, which was caramel syrup, in his own backyard with a three-legged kettle. He then carried it down the street to a pharmacy to have it approved, and sold it for five cents. Back then, the Coca-Cola had caffeine-rich cola nuts and small amounts of cocaine, which was then removed in 1929. This soft drink is very acidic and there is more to the soda than just drinking it.

To Loosen a Rusted Bolt

If you ever wanted to remove or just clean a rusted bolt, pour Coca-Cola on the bolt and wait a few minutes; then wipe off the liquid and you have a loose bolt that will be easy to remove.

Removing Grease Off Clothing

Pour one cup of Coca-Cola to your laundry to remove any grease or asphalt on clothing.

Removing Gum from Hair

If you want to remove gum from your hair, simply add Coca-Cola to your hair and wait a few minutes; then the gum will slide right off.

Disappearing Steak

Coca-Cola is so acidic that if you pour one bowl of the soft drink and drop a steak into the bowl, the steak will disappear in about two days.

Jelly Stings

If you want to relieve jelly stings, simply pour Coca-Cola over the wounded area.

Curing Hiccups

This may not work for everyone, but if you fill your mouth with Coca-Cola and gargled it, the hiccups will go away.

Clean Burnt Pans

If you have a burnt pan lingering around, pour Coca-Cola on the pan, and wait a few minutes; then the pan will be as good as new.

A Clean Pool

To have a clean pool, simply pour 2-Liters of Coca-Cola into the pool and wait for the results the next day.

Clean Coins

In a cup, pour Coca-Cola and place some coins and wait several hours; when you take them out of the cup, they all would be clean and shiny.

Clean a Toilet

To clean a toilet, pour Coca-Cola into the bowl and scrub the bowl; results will be a clean and shiny toilet bowl.

Tanning

If you want to be tanned from the sun, simply rub yourself with Coca-Cola and go outside; you should be tanned for about 3 months or so.

Smooth Skin

If you want to have smooth skin, mix one spoon if Coca-Cola with unscented lotion, and apply to your skin.

Curls in Your Hair

Before washing your hair, pour Coca-Cola in your hair and leave it there for several minutes; then wash your hair thoroughly and results will be your hair with beautiful curls.

With so many functions Coca-Cola can do, and there is still many other things the soft drink can do, Coca-Cola is considered to be one of the best cleaning household product to use because it has a low acid scale of 2.5, which can dissolve a nail in four days. The distributors of Coca-Cola have been using the product to clean engines for 20 years! So the question is…Would you rather drink a cup of water or a cup of Coca-Cola?
