Water VS Coke........

 

COKE

      1. In many states (in the USA) the highway patrol
      carries two gallons of Coke in the trunk to remove
      blood from the highway after a car accident.
      (And if there is no bleeding??)

      2. You can put a T-bone steak in a bowl of coke and
      it will be gone in two days.
      (See if the dog is gnawing on a T-bone)

      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.
      (It might be well to alert other users as to what is going on)

      4. To remove rust spots from chrome car bumpers: Rub
      the bumper with a rumpled-up piece of Reynolds Wrap
      aluminum foil dipped in Coca-Cola.
      (Just the idea gives me cold chills)

      5. To clean corrosion from car battery terminals:
      Pour a can of Coca-Cola over the terminals to bubble
      away the corrosion.
      (I suggest not drinking the coke afterward)

      6. To loosen a rusted bolt: Apply a cloth soaked in
      Coca-Cola to the rusted bolt for several minutes.
      (then use an easy out)

      7. To bake a moist ham: Empty a can of Coca-Cola
      into the baking pan, 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 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.
      (How does one get the windshield in the washing
      machine?_

      FOR YOUR INFORMATION:

      1. The active ingredient in Coke is phosphoric acid.
      Its pH is 2.8. It will dissolve a nail in about four 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! 

      WATER

      1. 75% of Americans are chronically dehydrated.
      (Likely applies to half world population.)

      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 #1 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.
      (At 4% you want to vote Democratic)

      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.

      Are you drinking the amount of water you should every day? 

      Now the question is, would YOU like a glass of water
      or coke?
