Coca Cola - more than just a drink.

Post by billofdurham »

Coca-Cola has more uses for motorists than just quenching their thirst.

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.


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


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


To remove grease from clothes: Empty a can of Coke into the load of greasy clothes, add detergent, and run through a regular cycle. The Coca-Cola will help loosen grease stains.


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


It will also clean road haze from your windshield.


Finally for vegetarians wondering how to get rid of a T-bone steak. Put it in a bowl of Coke and it will be gone in two days.
