Re: [wanabidii] Strange Uses Of Coca-cola

Leila,

A lot of these uses of Coca Cola are based on its acidic nature. Coke
is very acidic, in the same category as lemon and lime and that's why
it may even clean out rust and lime deposits. If you pour coke on a
cement floor, it will gradually react with the cement and form a
permanent stain.

Courage
