Okay, so this ended up on my news feed on Facebook. I'm sure some of you have seen it. Also, I'm sure some that have seen it are thinking what I'm thinking...BULLSHIT.
WATER or COKE - Can you believe this....? Not even about the sugar!
WATER
#1. 75% of Americans are chronically dehydrated. (also applies to half the world population)
#2. In 37% of Americans, the thirst mechanism is so weak that it is mistaken for hunger.
#3. Even MILD dehydration will slow down one's metabolism 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 drink every day?
COKE
#1. In many states 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. 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 ham is finished, remove the foil, allowing the drippings to mix with the Coke for a sumptuous brown gravy.
#8. To remove grease from clothes: Empty a can of Coke into the 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. 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 of osteoporosis.
#2. To carry Coca-Cola syrup! (the concentrate) the commercial trucks must use a hazardous Material place cards reserved for highly corrosive materials.
#3. The distributors of Coke have been using it to clean engines of the trucks for about 20 years!
So the question is, would you like a glass of water? or Coke?

I hate to sound skeptical, because I do know that for sure Coke takes rust off of things. I've been using it since I heard that fact as a kid. (Never stopped me from drinking it, funny enough...)
But it's going to EAT a nail?! Yeah. We'll see. And when I posted this link up on my own FB wall, I had a friend tell me that it will completely dissolve a penny in less than a month*. So now I'm going to put a penny in a container and see how that goes too.
*He did say it was a "pure copper" penny, which we don't have in Canada...but we do have some that are 98% copper, 1.75% tin, and .25% zinc (1980-1981). So that's what I'll use.
My main question here is that if Coke can dissolve metals, how do they sell it in a tin can? LOL

So I'm going to pick up a some Coke tonight and do some experiments. (I feel like I'm in grade 6 again.) We'll see. And I'll document it as time goes on.
As for the rest of the claims made in this post, lets see...
As for the rest of the claims made in this post, lets see...
#1. In many states the highway patrol carries two gallons of Coke in the trunk to remove blood from the highway after a car accident.:
I looked for answers on this one. Short of calling a police station in the US to find out for sure, there's not much I can do to find this out one way or another. But Snopes had THIS to say about it.
The fact is that the internet is full of shit...bullshit, that is. And as many things have been posted saying that "Mythbusters" proved it to be true, as there are things posted saying that "Mythbusters" proved it to be false. I even tried looking up episodes of that show on YouTube, and never found the one about "pigs blood".#2. You can put a T-bone steak in a bowl of Coke and it will be gone in two days.
Yeah...well, I'm not about to go and buy a steak to see if the pop can eat the whole thing in 2 days. I highly doubt it. I'm pretty sure that I'd end up with a soggy steak that tasted like pop. I'll pass.
#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.
I'm going to try this. I'll let you know. Hopefully it doesn't stain my toilet. My husband would be pissed! (Pun not intended, though funny.)
What happened: I didn't do it. I'm afraid. I'm afraid it's going to stain the hell out of my toilet. If someone else does it, take before and after pics, and I'll post them here.
#5. To clean corrosion from car battery terminals: Pour a can of Coca-Cola over the terminals to bubble away the corrosion. Apply a cloth soaked in Coca-Cola to the rusted bolt for several minutes.
Fact. Coke eats rust.
#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 ham is finished, remove the foil, allowing the drippings to mix with the Coke for a sumptuous brown gravy.
Apparently there is no #6. Whatever. LOL
Well, again, I'm not going to pour pop in with a ham to see if it makes a "sumptuous brown gravy". Gross. I'm going to pass on that one too...though was told that beer makes a ham very tender.
I'll take your word for it.
#8. To remove grease from clothes: Empty a can of Coke into the 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.
Well, I'm going to try this out on my husband's van windows. I'm sure he'll be thrilled. LOL I guess the worst thing that could happen would be the sudden swarming of a thousand bees going after the smell of the pop...
What happened: It left a big streak residue on the middle of his windshield. The statement didn't mention rinsing it off... *Running away*
I'm NOT pouring pop into my washing machine. So that will remain un-proven either way.
So all that remains now is to see if Coke can eat through metal. I'm doubting it. There will be an upcoming blog post about what happened in the experiment. Stay tuned! ; )
