For you Cola Drinkers

[Newt]

To clean a toilet: Pour a can of Coke into the toilet. Let it sit for one hour, then flush clean.

 

To remove rust spots from chrome car bumpers: Rub the bumper with a crumpled-up piece of Reynolds Wrap aluminum foil dipped in Coke.

 

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

 

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

 

To bake a moist ham: Empty a can of Coke 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.

 

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 Coke will help loosen grease stains.

 

It will also clean road haze from your windshield!

 

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

 

Now this just FREAKS me out:

 

There was a competition in Delhi University: "Who can drink the most Coke?". The winner drank 8 bottles and died on the spot because he had too much carbon dioxide in the blood and not enough oxygen. YIKES!

 

If you put a broken tooth in a bottle of Pepsi, in 10 days it will fully dissolve!

 

And We Drink This Stuff?

Not unless it's got a large Bacardi in it!

Newt? Have you tried this?

[Newt]

Haven't. But it sounds good if you like a sweet ham. I use hot mustard and black pepper when I don't smoke them.

[Guest sslatter]

You smoke 'em? You must have a very large pipe.

I think I would like to put the foil into hot coke to see what happens to the foil before I risked the recipe.

[Apache]

No but nothing beats going out, catching a nice plump trout, filleting/gutting it yourselfa dnthen smoking it less than 2 hours after it was caught. DELICIOUS! Thats what I had for dinner on Sunday!

Funny you saying cook your ham in cola, Nigella Lawson gave a recipe in our local paper last week and it was to cook ham in 1 litre of coka cola no foil! I don't fancy it myself due to the fact that I can't stand cola. Someone must have tried it. :confused:

Now that's what I call a 'STIFF Drink'!
