Different Uses for Cola

Cathy Pelekakis
Cola is a great drink for you. You can drink it chilled, mix it with differnet kinds of liquor, Cola and Rum is always a good drink when chilled and served on a hot summer night. However there are other uses for this drink.

- When you take an asprin for your aches, drink some cola with it, because the caffiene boosts the effectiveness of the pain killer

- You can use the cola as a rinse after you shampoo, it will make your hair shinier

- You can clean a stained toilet with a can of cola, pour it into the basin and let it sit for awhile then just flush it away.

- You can pour a can of cola down your kitchen sink drain, it keeps it open and fresh

- remove rust spots from your car's chrome, with a piece of aluminum foil dipped in cola

- pour some on your outdoor plantsit supplies carbon dioxide which your plants neet to convert the sun's energy into food.

- got grease buildup on your windows, I have tried this and it actually works, fill a spray bottle with cola, and spray on a window or mirror and it will remove the grease.

    You can also use it to clean the battery cables on a car. How's that for acidic. I do love my diet coke with lime though!

    I was quite surprised. I knew about using it as a cleanser, I saw it on Mythbusters.

    I never knew cola had the ability to help drains; by the way, Penny, thanks for reminding me about how caustic cola is :-)

    I'm with Penny. After I saw how a can of Coke unclogged our shower drain, I couldn't ever drink it again.

    I am guilty of having tried Cola and Rum, but I have not yet washed windows with it! :) Thanks for the interesting tips.
