one thing i vividly remember when i was a kid, when i was driving with my dad and it was raining so hard and the windshield wiper suddenly stopped working, he got a piece of cigarette and wipe it on the windshield. and i was surprised that it work like Rain X. the rain just slips on the windshield and we we're able to continue driving. not Coke but would be nice to have a stick of cigarette in your car.

I'll stick to Budweiser and Bailey's. One other thing, if you have a clogged toilet dump a 2 Liter of Coke and let sit for a few minutes. Swooooooooooossssssssshhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!

Fountain Coke syrup has been prescribed for baby's colic. Supposedly works. May be a carry-over effect from when it had cocaine in it instead of caffeine. Cocaine would surely mellow out a colicky baby. I would think caffeine would have the opposite effect.

I just bought a junk box of SM parts, and some were rusty faceplates, rear cover plates, etc. 1st I bought a bottle of Coke, which I haven't done in years, the BIG bottle in case it worked. I poured some in a stainless steel container. I took the parts outs and brushed with a brass brush occasionally to loosed it up. I wasn't really sure it was doing much. Then I rinsed them down and stuck 'em in white vinegar, that seemed to actually work pretty well for me. Now I'll take some to work tomorrow where I have access to a full size buffing wheel, that does a great job without leaving marks.
