Coke 

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

2. You can put a T-bone steak in a bowl of coke and it will be gone in 
   two days.

3. To clean a toilet: Pour a can of Coca-Cola into the toilet bowl. Let
   the "real thing" sit for one hour, then flush clean.

4. The citric acid in Coke removes stains from vitreous china.

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

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

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

8. To bake a moist ham: Empty a can of Coca-Cola into the baking pan;rap
   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.

9. 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
   Coca-Cola will help loosen grease stains. It will also clean road haze
   from your windshield.

FYI: 

1. The active ingredient in Coke is phosphoric acid. It's pH is 2.8. It
   will dissolve a nail in about 4 days.

2. To carry Coca Cola syrup (the concentrate) the commercial truck must
   use the Hazardous material place cards reserved for Highly Corrosive
   materials.

3. The distributors of coke have been using it to clean the engines of
   their trucks for about 20 years! Drink up! No joke. Think what coke and
   other soft drinks do to your teeth on a daily basis. A tooth will
   dissolve in a cup of coke in 24-48 hours
