20 Crazy Uses for Coke

Who knew a can of Coca-Cola could have so many interesting uses!

  1. Clean a toilet: To clean a toilet, pour one can of coke into it and let it sit for one hour. Afterwards, flush for a surprisingly good shine.
  2. A powerful cleaning tool: Use coke to clean your engines. Coke distributors have been using this trick to clean their engines for over twenty years!
  3. Get rid of hiccups: When you've got the hiccups, simply take a good mouthful of coke and gargle, your hiccups will vanish.
  4. Clean burnt pans: To clean a burnt saucepan, simply add a can of coke and boil it.
  5. Hair styling: Pour a can of flat coke into your hair and let stand a few minutes, wash out for outstanding curls.
  6. Gum stuck in hair? Put the gum-infested part of your hair in coke and wait a few minutes, then gently wipe off.
  7. Incredibly soft skin: Mix one tablespoon of standard coke with lotion and apply for soft and smooth skin.
  8. Remove oil stains from your garage - Simply apply coke, let stand and hose off.
  9. Bad cold?: Boil a can of coke and drink while hot to get rid of congestion.
  10. Winter windshield: Frozen windshield? Can't see? Late for work? Pour a can of coke all over your windshield and the ice will immediately clear up. Happy driving.
  11. Chrome rust spots? Crumple some tinfoil and dip it into coke, then gently rub the affected area.
  12. Have corroded car battery terminals? Pour some coke on there, let sit for a few minutes, and wipe off with a wet cloth.
  13. Greasy clothes? Pour a can of coke into your washing machine along with (and don't forget) detergent to effectively get rid of grease stains.
  14. Loosen rusted bolts and nuts: Wrap a coke-wet cloth on a rusted bolt or nut. After a few minutes, it will have been loosened as a result of the acidic content in the coke.
  15. Jelly fish sting: Stung by a jelly fish? Pour coke over it to neutralize the venom in the sting.
  16. A lawn so green: Spraying coke on your lawn will help ensure that it stays greener and for longer.
  17. Get rid of snails and slugs: Put little bowls of coke all over your garden. Sugar attracts, acid kills, your happy.
  18. Use coke for cooking? Need water, sugar and lemon? You might as well just add a can of coke.
  19. Exploding cans: A friend told me about this, throw a can of coke into a fire... *Bang*.
  20. Satisfy thirst: Drink, be happy.

Another informative article. I have tried some of these tips and they work well. I didn't know about adding a can of Coke to your laundry for cleaning greasy clothes. I will have to give it a try.

I hope people will know to take the Coke out of the can before boiling in #9. teehee
