And you thought that Coke was just a beverage. Coca-cola is good for many more wonderful applications like removing rust, gum, toilet grime, and even skunk odor if you get shot! Here's more about Coke's other talents and let's just hope that it doesn't have a similar effect on your insides!

 

Coke As A Rust Remover...

Coke has baking soda in it, along with phosphoric and citric acids.  Which basically makes it an industrial-strength cleaner.  You can rub it on a chrome car bumper and it'll take the rust spots RIGHT OFF.

...As A Pain Reliever

You can pour Coke on bee stings and jellyfish stings to take the pain away, that way you don't risk being peed on in public.

...As A Fertilizer

Pour a can or two of Coke into your flower beds once in a while.  The acids help break down organic material (???) and the sugar attracts microorganisms to enrich the soil.  But you should let the Coke go flat first.

...As A Gum Remover

When your kids get gum stuck in their hair, soak it in Coke.  The gum will slide right off and you won't have to cut it out.

...As A Toilet Cleaner

Dump a can of Coke in your toilet bowl and swish it around.  It'll take care of rust, mildew, mold, and any OTHER kind of stain you might find in there.

...As An Odor Neutralizer

NOTHING can neutralize skunk odor, but apparently Coke can do that too.  If you or your dog happen to end up on the business end of a skunk, the high acidity in Coke can neutralize the alkaline ingredient in the skunk spray thereby making you once again palatable to general society.
