Frightening facts about a substance harmlessly and thoughtlessly consumed by millions of people around the world

Apparently Coca-Cola, is currently used by its own manufacturers to clean out the engines of their trucks, as well as remove toilet stains, purify the stomach of questionable bacteria, and marinate steak in several hours.

Glad I never developed a taste for the stuff!

What, have you just heard that?!
These rumours have been going around for quite a while now! I think it's safe to say that they have -- for several years.

Heard it all, except for this part:
Quote:
purify the stomach of questionable bacteria

Which may be a good thing, I guess... Unless it purifies that stomach until it wears a hole through it!

By the way, what happend to your picture, if you don't mind my asking? :-)

"what happened to your picture?!

:-)) You are not the first to ask that. In fact Richard asked me not five minutes ago. OK, I will put it back on again.

Well Bill - I have a few issues with coke myself - My brother Charlie never drank alcohol but drank coke till it came out his ears - Charlie died a few years ago from primary liver cancer and a lot of us are convinced it was the coke.
