If cola can do this.should you be drinking it?! Today we are presenting fun list of out-of-the-ordinary uses for a rather ordinary product: coke. This list should give you some ideas on how to get more from your coke than usual.Well, you’d be surprised at the alternative uses for this classic beverage that some enterprising people have come up with. *Removing Rust and Hard Water... Cola can remove rust from nails and from the bumper of your car. To remove rust on a small object, fill a plastic cup with Cola. Then add the rusted metal object. Leave it overnight and then wipe the rust off with an old rag. To remove rust from larger metal you will need a sheet of aluminum foil. Roll the aluminum foil up in to a ball and dip in the Cola so that it is covered on all sides with the liquid. Rub it in a circle over the rust. You may need to apply the Coke a few times and then rub, but it will work.It is also used in removing hard water from your bathroom tiles and toilet bowls. *Clean clothes Grease stains are famously difficult to remove from clothing and stain removers can be very expensive. Here is a cheap solution: empty a can of coke into your wash along with the usual detergent and run it through a normal cycle. This is also quite effective for removing blood and it helps to deodorize smelly clothes. *Stain Removal... Cola contains acid that can remove grease and blood stains from fabric. Fill your washing machine and add your normal amount of laundry detergent. Then add one can of Cola. Place a load of laundry in the washing machine including the items with the stains. When the wash cycle is over, your clothing will be stain free. *Removing Pests... If you have a problem with slugs or snails you can use Cola as both bait and poison. Pour the Cola in a small dish and watch the sugar attract the slugs and snails. Once the pests get on the dish the acid will destroy them. Cola also works to remove bugs from a car windshield. Just pour the Cola over the bugs on the windshield and wait 10 seconds. Use your windshield wipers and the bugs will easily come off. *Window Cleaner Wipe down windows with Coke to remove grease and dirt without overusing chemical and toxin-ridden household cleaners. Pour over the can of coke and rub the window – then wipe it off with a damp cloth (to ensure the removal of any sticky residue from the sugars in the drink). *Ease Sickness Apparently, drinking around a teaspoon of flat Coke (leave it out and open overnight to achieve this if you don’t have a half-drunk bottle nearby) roughly once an hour will help to relieve acute nausea. Of course, if you’re feeling nauseous for any significant period of time you should at least get some rest, if not consider seeing a doctor.
