Got this from another Forum. Sir Nuke, you've seen this.


Coke vs. Water.
Did you know?

WATER

1. 75% of Americans are chronically dehydrated.
2. In 37% of Americans, the thirst mechanism is so weak that it is often mistaken for hunger.
3. Even MILD dehydration will slow down one's metabolism as much as 3%.
4. One glass of water will shut down midnight hunger pangs for almost 100% of the dieters studied in a University of Washington study.
5. Lack of water, the 1st trigger of daytime fatigue.
6. Preliminary research indicates that 8-10 glasses of water a day could significantly ease back and joint pain for up to 80% of sufferers.
7. A mere 2% drop in body water can trigger fuzzy short-term memory, trouble with basic math, and difficulty focusing on the computer screen or on a printed page.
8. Drinking 5 glasses of water daily decreases the risk of colon cancer by 45%, plus it can slash the risk of breast cancer by 79%, and one is 50% less likely to develop bladder cancer.

And now for the properties of COKE

1. In many states (in the USA) the highway patrol carries two gallons of coke in the truck to remove blood from the highway after a car accident.
2. You can put a T-bone steak in a bowl of coke and it will be gone in two days.
3. To clean a toilet: Pour a can of Coca-Cola into the toilet bowl and let the "real thing" sit for one hour, then flush clean. The citric acid in Coke removes stains from vitreous China.
4. To remove rust spots from chrome car bumpers: Rub the bumper with a rumpled-up piece of Reynolds Wrap aluminium foil dipped in Coca-Cola
5. To clean corrosion from car battery terminals: Pour a can of Coca-Cola over the terminals to bubble away the corrosion.
6. To loosen a rusted bolt: Applying a cloth soaked in Coca-Cola to the rusted bolt for several minutes.
7. To bake a moist ham: Empty a can of Coca-Cola into the baking pan, wrap the ham in aluminium foil, and bake. Thirty minutes before the ham is finished, remove the foil, allowing the drippings to mix with the Coke for a sumptuous 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.

For Your Info:

1. The active ingredient in Coke is phosphoric acid. Its pH is 2.8. It 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!


this is why I say the three most unhealthy things you can put into your body are alchohol, soda, and cigarette smoke.

There is a book titled "you're not sick, you're thirsty". In this book, the author proposes that many of today's illnesses could be cure through proper hydration. It's an interesting read. For more info, see: www.watercure.com .
 
I say screww both COKE AND WATER. DRINK DR.PEPPER... Wouldn't you like to be a Pepper Too????? DP is all that I drink, well ok not all but it is the only soft drink that I drink. My parents tried to convince me that all of my stomach problems were related to how much DP I drink and so after a month long experiment of no DP or any sodas and only drinking water I observed no change in my stomach. Not anymore energy or anything well except that I had to pee alot more. So I am back to the good ole DP. And no the DIET DP does NOT taste like regular DP. And Mr. Pibb while extremely close in taste is still not DP.

Do you know where Dr. Pepper started at? It started in my hometown. What is it?
 
I'm with ya Funwagon. I love Dr. Pepper also. But I think my favorite soft drink is a good old frosty mug of A&W Rootbeer. Best rootbeer out there.

And as for as a not so soft drink.... I loves me the Rolling Rock.
 
Damn you beat me too it. I kinda got the nickname DP with my friends because I drink it so much you rarely ever see me without one and because I had a jeep that I had painted the same color as a DP can.

OK since this started off as a COKE thread, in order to get back toward topic. and include some trivia. Anyone know what ingredient coca-cola no longer contains but was in the ORIGINAL formula.... a hint is where coca-cola got its name.
 
lol... that one is WIDELY known funwagon ;) and im a dp fan myself... but not the kind of DP your talkin bout... lol lol lol.. j/k... eww.. nasty...

i like mr pibb better than dp tho... i guess its just like the coke - pepsi thing... since both companies make them

I used to tell people that all the time, but no one ever believed me. As far as they were concenred it was like saying the "milky way" was made of "milk". >-|
 
Oh, btw, I know the "a nail will dissolve in 4 days in coke" thing is BS, because I heard it would dissolve a penny, so a few years ago, I left a penny in Coke for a week and it just cleaned some of the crap off of it.
 
Since we're on the subject sorta... Does anyone know why, when or where drugs were outlawed in the US? Seems like something had to happen for them to make a law against it. Oh and I finally figured out how to put in pictures in my signature. That's pretty cool.
 
I like that one. It's groovy.

Yeah it is called the federal food and drug administration!!!!!!!!! When they came on to the scene they began to regulate everything. Basically if they found a popular product they tried to find the reason it was so popular, ie, is it addictive??? ie .. cigarettes=nicotine, coke=cocaine, chinese food=msg, and etc.... Then they outlawed it. I mean my grandma used to tell me about how she used to take heroin for headaches when she was a child growing up. This was not bought from a drug dealer but instead in a pharmacy. She actually had one of the boxes from them in her memory chest. DAMN FDA outlaws all of the fun stuff. Some they have good reason but others they use the old"CAUSE WE SAY SO!!!"" excuse ie.... Marijuana.... Not as harmful , not addictive, multi use(clothing, medicine, fuel) I could go on for ever as I am very against Pot being illegal!!!!!!
