To prove Coke does not belong in the human body, here are 20 practical ways you can use Coke as a domestic cleaner:
Removes grease stains from clothing and fabric
Removes rust; methods include using fabric dipped in Coke, a sponge or even aluminum foil. Also loosens rusty bolts
Removes blood stains from clothing and fabric.
Cleans oil stains from a garage floor; let the stain soak, hose off.
Kills slugs and snails; the acids kills them.
Cleans burnt pans; let the pan soak in the Coke, then rinse.
Descales a kettle (same method as with burnt pans)
Cleans car battery terminals by pouring a small amount of Coke over each one.
Cleans your engine; Coke distributors have been using this technique for decades.
Makes pennies shine; soaking old pennies in Coke will remove the tarnish.
Cleans tile grout; pour onto kitchen floor, leave for a few minutes, wipe up.
Dissolves a tooth; Use a sealed container…takes a while but it does work.
Removes gum from hair; dip into a small bowl of Coke, leave a few minutes. Gum will wipe off.
Removes stains from vitreous china.
Got a dirty pool? Adding two 2-liter bottles of Coke clears up rust.
You can remove (or fade) dye from hair by pouring diet Coke over it.
Remove marker stains from carpet. Applying Coke, scrubbing and then clean with soapy water will remove marker stains.
Cleans a toilet; pour around bowl, leave for a while, flush clean.
Coke and aluminum foil will bring Chrome to a high shine.
Strips paint off metal furniture. Soak a towel in Coke and lay it on the paint surface.
Now can you imagine what is does to your stomach lining?
Who needs the ‘household and cleaning’ section at the hardware store when we have Coke.

Re: Practical uses for Coca Cola, just don't drink it
Holy >Bleep< Queen! I suppose Pepsi does the same (I've been loving the "throwback") No surprise about the teeth thing...I used to tell my husband not to drink soda and go right to bed...(I mean it was on the nightstand ) and sure enough he has no more teeth, Had to get dentures before he was 55.
So I wonder if it is the soda, the caramel color, the sugar, high fructose corn syrup these days or the combination of all of it.
It is my personal opinion that the high fructose corn syrup is responsible for the high obesity rate and the increased cases of diabetes in this country...it is in practically everything, and the body does not know how to break it down so it just stores it. Read the label next time you buy anything that is sweet.
...now I think I'll clean the rust off my bike!
Thanks for the info Queen.

Awesome information, QueenVictoria. Thanks for sharing. I can't stand the stuff myself, but now I'll feel good if I flush it down the toilet.

Re: Practical uses for Coca Cola, just don't drink it
Ugh, well I'm glad it's something I only drink 1-2 cups of, like once a month or less...
~that is an interesting notion, in it's own way~
