Here is something I received last year about
Coke. The only one I have tried is the battery terminal cleaner.

WATER OR COKE?
This is really an eye
opener!
We all know that water is important but I've never seen it
written down like this before.
WATER
1. 75% of Americans are
chronically dehydrated. (Likely applies to half world population.)
2. In
37% of Americans, the thirst mechanism is so weak that it is often mistaken for
hunger.
3. Even MILD dehydration will slow down one's metabolism as much
as 3%.
4. One glass of water will shut down midnight hunger pangs for almost 100% of the dieters
studied in a University of Washington study.
5. Lack of
water, the #1 trigger of daytime fatigue.
6. Preliminary research
indicates that 8-10 glasses of water a day could significantly ease back and
joint pain for up to 80% of sufferers.
7. A mere 2% drop in body water
can trigger fuzzy short-term memory, trouble with basic math, and difficulty
focusing on the computer screen or on a printed page.
8. Drinking 5
glasses of water daily decreases the risk of colon cancer by 45%, plus it can
slash the risk of breast cancer by 79%, and one is 50%less likely to develop
bladder cancer. Are you drinking the amount of water you should every day?
COKE
1. In many states (in the
USA) the highway patrol carries two
gallons of Coke in the trunk to remove blood from the highway after a car
accident.
2. You can put a T-bone steak in a bowl of coke and it will be
gone in two days.
3. To clean a toilet: Pour a can of Coca-Cola into the
toilet bowl and let the "real thing" sit for one hour, then flush clean. The
citric acid in Coke removes stains from vitreous china.
4. To remove
rust spots from chrome car bumpers: Rub the bumper with a rumpled-up piece of
Reynolds Wrap aluminum foil dipped in Coca-Cola.
5. To clean corrosion
from car battery terminals: Pour a can of Coca-Cola over the terminals to bubble
away the corrosion.
6. To loosen a rusted bolt: Apply a cloth soaked in
Coca-Cola to the rusted bolt for several minutes.
7. 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 sumptuous brown gravy.
8. 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.
FOR YOUR INFORMATION:
1. The active ingredient in Coke
is phosphoric acid. Its pH is 2.8. It will dissolve a nail in about four days.
Phosphoric acid also leaches calcium from bones and is a major contributor to
the rising increase in osteoporosis.
2. To carry Coca-Cola syrup (the
concentrate) the commercial truck must use the Hazardous Material place cards
reserved for highly corrosive materials.
3. The distributors of coke
have been using it to clean the engines of their trucks for about 20 years!
Now the question is, would YOU like a glass of water or coke?
