As a parplegic, I use a latex leg bag and a ondom catheter to catch my pee. I usually use some phosphoric acid to clean my bag so that it smells clean and fresh.

I think I’ll try soaking it in some Coke next time.

Thanks!

I’m really sorry that the coke stuff isn’t true. I have a stained bathtub I need to clean…

Holy cow Donna, who are all those people commenting on your blog?!

Did you notice that number 4 in the water info was from the University of Washington? I did that. On my lunch break. It’s just something I do, you know, in my spare time.

I have to pee now.

Oh–I saw in our paper how you Virginians aren’t allowed to smile in your driver’s license photos. Like a mug shot?! Do you hold up numbers under your face and stare blankly at the camera moments after declaring, “But I didn’t do it! I’m innocent! I need a phone call!” **click**

I’m bored.

I don’t know specifics but I know that being even a little dehydrated is the cause of many daily ailments, particularly headaches. I always reach for a glass of water before I hit the drugs and usually the problem is solved. Any nutritionist will agree that Coke is bad for you, but I don’t know about all of those stats. I HAVE seen it used on garage floors to clean up grease spots and yes, it did the trick.

The Mythbusters busted every single item on the Coke list(except the baking of a ham, that one might be true). This is just BS being spread around by simpletons who lack a basic understanding of chemistry. Even in highly concentrated amounts neither citric acid nor phosphoric acid are powerful enough to dissolve metal, the idea that a very dilute solution containing them would do it is foolish. The only action that Coke might have on grease would be the bubbling action of the carbonation helping to loosen things, but then you have to contend with everything being sticky when it dries.

The long and short of it is this: This exact post has been passing around the world since the very first days of online community. I remember seeing it on CompuServ in the late 80s, on AOL in the 90s, and now on random blogs in the 2000s. It’s complete bunk, posting it only proves that you lack intelligence and are gullible enough to believe any BS “a friend” tells you.

As per previous commenters, can we have back up for these ‘facts’.
I don’t disbelieve all of them, but wouldn’t repeat them til sure they were fact.

Nope. Most of the Coke things are false. Like the T-Bone steak thing – even if you put a tiny tiny bit of meat in a thing of coke it won’t be gone in a WEEK much less overnight much less a whole steak.
