Ever Wonder Why Soda Tastes So Good?
1. In many States the highway patrol carries 2 gallons of cola in the trunk to remove blood stains from the highway.
2. You can put a T- bone Steak in a bowl of cola and it will be gone in 2 days.
3. To clean a toilet, pour a can of cola in and let it sit for one hour then flush. The citric acid in the cola will remove the stains.
4. Rust can be removed from chrome by rubbing with crumpled up pieces of aluminum foil dipped in cola.
5. To clean corrosion on car battery terminals pour a can of cola over them; it bubbles the corrosion away.
6. To loosen a rusty bolt apply a cloth soaked in cola for several minutes.
7. To remove grease from clothing throw a can of cola in the tub of clothes.
8. The active ingredient in cola is phosphoric acid. It's PH is 2.8; it will dissolve a small nail in about 4 days.
9. To carry cola concentrate the commercial truck must use Hazardous Material placards for highly corrosive materials.
10. Doesn't this make you think twice before you pop the tab on your next cola drink?

Hi Michelle!
Do you ever watch Mythbusters? I am sure they tried out a few of these at some stage!
Anyway, I worked on a coating line where they apply lacquer coating to aluminium can end stock (the end where the ring pull is). There is a coating on both the inside and outside of the can. The coating for cola and other sodas was something like 3 times thicker than for beer, just to stop the cola from eating into the can!
Another bit of somewhat interesting but completely useless information!
Cheers

Hi Michelle,

These are all poppycock. :) Here's a cheap experiment for you--no rice needed ;-)--put a small nail in some cola...see if it dissolves. In fact, leave it in there longer...see what happens. ;-)
