let the "real thing" sit for one hour, then flush clean. The

wrap the ham in aluminum foil, and bake. Thirty minutes
before the ham is finished, remove the foil, allowing the drippings to
mix with the Coke for asumptuous brown gravy.

8. To remove grease from clothes: Empty a can of coke into a 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.

will dissolve a nail in about 4 days. Phosphoric acid also
leaches calcium from bones and is a major contributor to the rising
increase in osteoporosis.

2. To carry Coca-Cola syrup (the concentrate) the commercial truck must
use
the Hazardous material place cards reserved for Highly corrosive
materials.

3. The distributors of coke have been using it to clean the engines of
their trucks for about 20 years!
