I found these unusual purposes of Coca cola. It is worth reading.

Did you know that you can use Coca Cola for many purposes, Yep, you read that right, there’s more than one use for a coke, in fact, it has a whole lot of other uses, like busting rust, cleaning clothes… heck, you can even heal yourself with a coke!


1. [size=14pt]RUST BUSTER[/size]
-Coke is an excellent rust buster. If you have some small objects that need de-rusting and you have no rust-buster on hand, all you have to do is soak the iron(object) overnight in coca-cola and give a good scrub in the morning.

-You can also use rough textured cloths dipped in coke to clean different objects

1b. How to Loosen a rusty bolt:

You have a rusty bolt that’s giving you a hard time and you want to loosen it? Nothing simpler as long as you have your trusty coke at hand. Just pour on some Coke and wait.


2. [size=14pt]CLEANING[/size]
-Coke can be used to remove grease, blood stains, nasty smell like fish and other nasty odours from clothing and fabrics. Just add a Coke to your laundry and there you have it.

- Cleaning oil stains from your garage: soak the stains in coke, let them settle then hose off the whole thing et voila, squeaky clean

- Burnt pans giving you a hard time? Just soak them in the Coke, then rinse, and no more burn stains

- You can also descale a kettle using the same method as above

- Clean car battery terminals: pour a small quantity of Coke over each one, and the terminals are as good as new

- Do you want your pennies to be pretty? Soaking them in Coke will remove the tarnish and make them shiny and pretty.

- Clean tile grout; pour onto kitchen floor, leave it there for a few minutes, then wipe that floor up.

- Marker stains on the carpet? Pour Coke on it, scrub, then clean with soapy water.

- Remove stains from vitreous china

- Wanna clean your pool and have no pool cleaner? Just buy 2 bottles of 2 litters of Coca Cola and empty them into the pool, it’ll act like rust remover and it will clean your pool water.

- De-Skunk yourself! One can of coke added to a bucket of water with detergent really helps to break the skunk-smell down.

- Clean the toilet by pouring around the bowl, leave in for a while then flush and clean.

- Strip paint off metal furniture: soak a towel in Coke, sit it on the surface for days. Make sure you keep adding Coke to keep the towel wet.

- Shake up a can and pour it over your windshield or bumpers to remove bugs and other crud.

- Clean your engine with Coke easy and cheap!


3. [size=14pt]BEAUTY TIP[/size]
- Coke makes your skin silky: just mix a spoonful of Coke with regular lotion and apply liberally

- Remove (or fade) dye from hair by pouring diet Coke over it.

- Do you want a deeper sun tan? Just apply Coke onto your skin and go sunbathing

- Curl your hair with Coca-Cola: pour flat Coke onto long hair, leave for a few minutes then rinse.

- Gum in your hair? Put the scissors down and dip the gum into a small bowl of Coke, let it settle for a few minute and the gum will wipe off.


3. [size=14pt]COKE & COOKING[/size]

- Looking for an easy recipe of sweet BBQ sauce? Never been easier if you have a Coke at hand! Mix a can of Coke with ketchup and brush over ribs or chicken.

- Baste a ham roast with Coke as it cooks. The sugars will caramelize; the ham will be moist and yummy.

- sprinkle a can of coke on your pot roast to make it tender, it also adds extra flavor

- Mix a can of Coke with a packet of Italian seasoning; cook a tough steak in it.

- Bake low-fat brownies, just look up the recipe online

- Planing a picnic but you’re annoyed by the bugs? Just pour a cup of Coke, and set it away from the picnic spot you chose. It will attract wasps and bees so they wont bug you and your grub


4. [size=14pt]GARDEN[/size]
- Make better compost for your plants: Coke increases the acidity, adds sugars and feeds micro organisms.

- Use coke to perk up your Azaleas or Gardenias, just add coke to the water you use, more water than coke tho.


5.[size=14pt] COKE AS MEDICINE[/size]
- Cure nausea; let a can of Coke go flat then take a teaspoon of Coke every hour.

- Flat coke can help relieve an upset stomach.

- Drink Coke to prevent an asthma attack! Sounds crazy? Well, it’s not, the caffeine in two 12oz cans can prevent the onset of an attack.

- Neutralize a jellyfish sting by pouring coke on the spot

- Get rid of hiccups; gargle with a big mouthful of ice-cold Coke.

- Relieve congestion; boil a can of Coke and drink while hot to clear you up.

- Supposedly, drinking an 8oz can of Coke every day can prevent kidney stones.


6. OTHER UNUSUAL USES
- Defrost a frozen wind shield. Apply liberally and wait for the magic.

- Do you want your Chrome objects to shine more? Add coke and aluminum foil on them, leave it for a few minutes, then wash off.

- Age documents and photos; for that antique look, apply Coke, pat with paper, leave to dry.

The same researchers have said long time ago that drinking to much of soda-coke increases your chances of having heart attack, obesity, and other diseases. Their is nothing as good as drinking natural water. All these evil findings will lead people to having more diseases like diabetes

Nasri100: Coke which of them? Cocaine or drink?

can you 'drink' a can of cocaine everyday??

Eye opening post....Drinking too much Coke iyaf damage my backbone tho

Op you forgot cough syrup which was coke first marketed use. Side note coke syrup is still sold and works better than flat coke for med uses being its not diluted. Check with your pharmacist for coke syrup

considering that a bottle of coca cola in my area is 80 naira, it might not be such a smart idea to use it for some of those things mentioned


For skin, I can use Ori, about 20 naira for a cup

I already have curly hair, that info is of no use

To wash charcoals off pots, pans and kettles? Sand is free and detergents cost 30 naira

As far as health, most of what coca cola can do, bitter leaf, lemons and pumpkin leaves can also do, depending on how much I need, the sum total will not cost up to 80 naira

This is another research that was carried out by white people, of white people, for white people....or at least those in Europe. North America and Asia, where Coke may be fairly cheap.

Props to the OP though, you did well

So na chemical we dey drink in the name of coke....hmmmm

berem: Na wa o! Shey I fit use coke cook egusi soup?!
