Complete bullshit. Not a single state does this nor any highway patrol. Water is much cheaper and does a better job.

Again total bullshit. The amount of acid in coke will barely soften a piece of ground beef let alone disolve a steak with bone. Think about it for a second it only has a fraction of the acid of something weak like lemon juice.

Suppose you could but why. Again the acid content is way to low, and coke also stains.

This works, though it is more to do with the foil than the coke. Seems any liquid plus aluminum foil cleans off chrome.

Again no where near enough acid content and the bubble do not last long enough nor would stay in place to do a valid job.

Sure if you want a wet, sticky, and somewhat lubricated bolt.

Ok this is finally true. Numerous dishes can be made with coke.

If you belive that one and think it is the coke and not the detergent and agitation, then please revert to the crack pipe this thread interupted you from.
Now seeing all the coke myths, I am seriously also in doubt about the water ones. Would love to see the actual data.
