Uses for Coca Cola

September 25, 2009

Coca ColaWhen a sore throat is beginning to develop, pull out the cola! Just gargle with any type of a cola (Dr. Pepper, Coke, Pepsi, favorite store brands of cola). Gargle and "spit" until the cola return looks like cola with no mucus. Do this as often as necessary! Sounds gross, but it works!

Coca Cola is great on corroded battery terminals in your car. The caustic acid eats the corrosion quite well. And if your windshield is oily from driving in rainy weather? Coke works great!

I use Coca-Cola to clear clogged drains. Just pour a 2 liter bottle slowly down the drain. Follow with boiling water 1/2 hour later. You can also use generic cola.

Use Coca Cola Classic to clean just about anything! It will clean battery terminals, toilets with calcium and hard water deposits, grease stains in your garage, or on your driveway.

Flat Coca Cola is suppose to be good if you have been sick a lot, especially good for kids, not too much just small sips, I think it works with Lemonade as well but it must be flat.
