The Real Thing

[bNorrish]

Ya, Mt Dew.... higher Cafinee/ml ratio...

[hapoo]

I hate to break it to you NiceMann but almost all soda's contain phosphoric acid including pepsi and mountain dew. That is the ingrediant that makes soda so bad for your bones.

[StarvingCollegeStudent]

What u talkin about hapoo?!?!?! It's good for you

Coca-Cola is my favorite drink. Here are a few fun facts about Coke that you may not know:

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. The citric acid in Coke
removes stains from vitreous china.
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.
To clean corrosion from car battery terminals: Pour a can of Coca-Cola over
the terminals to bubble away the corrosion.
To loosen a rusted bolt: Applying a cloth soaked in Coca-Cola to the rusted
bolt for several minutes.
To bake a moist ham: Empty a can of Coca-Cola into the baking pan - wrap
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.
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: The active ingredient in Coke is phosphoric acid. Its pH is 2.8. It
will dissolve a nail in about 4 days. The distributors of coke have been
using it to clean the engines of their trucks for about 20 years!
Drink up!

Humm now I finally understand why I drink pepsi and mountain dew.

[colossus]

It doesn't do jack to your bones. Some dumbass did a lame study with 34 people and proved nothing. I could point you in the direction of over 20 clinical studies done over years that show it has no correlation.

The only reason you may not want to drink is it causes cavities and they're "empty calories." But I do love my Coca Cola. The original and still the best!

Sorry, couldn't help it.

[Booyamos]

Damn it! It is called POP, not soda, all you must be east coasters or something, cause out here on the west coast (seattle) we call it Pop. Yes yes I know people will mock me for sure, happens when I go back to school in Boston, but oh well. But has anyone ever put an old tooth or something, one that has fallen out preferably, in a cup and then poured coke over it? You leave it there for a while and then magically the tooth just disappears... go coke, dissolves everything. Anyways go POP.

[colossus]

Man, that wasn't needed. OK, yeah it was I'm dying here thinkin of somebody saying that with a bad accent

------------------
Ço£o§§ü§ - yeah you can read into it...

[speedracer120]

Sometimes I wonder about myself

[onalamwar]

pop?! no way.. i've been in california my whole life (23 years) and i've never called it pop. i did have a friend from michigan who called it pop.. weird..
kar

[colossus]

Yeah, I've been in SoCal for 24 years never heard any of my friends call it pop. Only a couple of OLD teachers hehe

As for the dissolving, dude, you would be surprised what Tomatos will do! Even simple stuff like Lemon juice will rip apart most basic items. Stomach Acid, not that stuff is viciious. If it was poured on concrete, it eats about 1 mm per 6 hours of contact!!!

[revil]

here in oregon we call it whatever the hell we wanna call it. pop, soda, sodapop, zebnar, whatever.

[Booyamos]

zebnar? ha ha lol, damn man everyone here in WA calls it pop. And my roommate last year was from Minnesota and they called it Pop there too, same with my friend from Oregon. Oh ya that is another thing that I learned on the east coast, all those idiots pronounce Oregon Ore(Gone) damned fools.

[Sjarred]

Soda Pop maybe, but never just Pop by itself (in California). Screw the caffeine, Coke and Pepsi has so much freaken calories in them. Gain so much dang weight.

[sgrey]

I'm in Alabama and everything is coke....whether it's coke or pepsi or mt. dew. People here would think I was weird if I ordered a pop or a soda!

[onalamwar]

yeah whenever i order at taco bell or a restaurant or wherever i just ask for a coke.. i've never asked for a pepsi or a soda or pop..

[Jenny]

Where in Kansas? That's cool. Thought I was the only one here! lol

Yeah, when I'm talking to my husband or someone I know, I just say coke and we know that it is most likely something besides "Coca-Cola".

[StarvingCollegeStudent]
