Cook with Coca-Cola.
The Coca-Cola Consumer Information Center offersa free packet of recipes including a Mustard Herb Dressing (an Italianstyle salad dressing made with one-half cup of Coca-Cola), a Twin CheeseDip (requiring three-quarter cup of Coca-Cola and doubling as a sandwichfilling), and Sweet-Sour Cabbage (using one-half cup of Coca-Cola andtwo tablespoons of bacon drippings).

Loosen a rusted bolt.
Mary Ellen suggests applying a cloth soaked in a carbonated soda to the rusted bolt for several minutes.

Bake a moist ham.

*sniff* God blees Coke, it truly is the real thing.

I find that Coke is the favored method of diluting Captain Morgan rum Could not imagine the world without it

Did that come from the hillbilly cookbook or what?

Scary!!

*sniff* God blees Coke, it truly is the real thing.

i hear that man. Down with pepsi.

Coke is rotting my teeth out!

I drink far to much Coke (and pop in general, but mostly coke)
I brush my teeth twice a day, and floss every other day.. and now at the age of 20 my teeth are getting really bad I need to stop drinking coke

So I can't try any of those things.. if there is coke in the house.. I will drink it

would pepsi work?

Thats some great and useful things for Coke...really.
I have always sayed that one should have a "coke and a smile"....all the while it's eating a new hole in your gut...

Wonderful uses for it though....hehehe

Hahaha, probably just cleaning them real damn good and getting rid of the rust and # inside of me.

Coke can also be used to (relatively painlessly) rot away unwanted stomach and intestinal linings.

(I just noticed Asala covered that off... but it is a legitimate application).

And here i thought it was only good for rotting one's teeth, and mixing with rum!

For me the worst thing is the sugar and caffeine.

I'm sure lemonaide is powerful stuff too, or what about orange juice?

They call pop in the beverage business 'sugar water' yup that's about all it is.

Still we all love it, why?
