Water versus Cola - you decide

Alexander's Horse · October 18, 2002, 02:03

WATER

1. One glass of water will shut down midnight hunger pangs for almost 100% of the dieters studied in a U-Washington study.

2. Lack of water is the #1 trigger of daytime fatigue.

3. Preliminary research indicates that 8-10 glasses of water a day could significantly ease back and joint pain for up to 80% of sufferers.

4. A mere 2% drop in body water can trigger fuzzy short-term memory, trouble with basic maths, and difficulty focusing on the computer screen or
on a printed page.

5. 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?

COLA

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.

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: Apply a cloth soaked in Coca-Cola to the rusted bolt for several minutes
.
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!

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

1 · October 18, 2002, 02:15

I second that...plus it just tastes better. =P

ixnay · October 18, 2002, 02:19

Give me a mountain dew code red any day, or a vanilla coke.

I'll go for some Orange Juice, it tastes better then coke and goes better with Vodka anyway.

Skanky Burns · October 18, 2002, 03:10

Water doesn't mix with bourbon as well as coke does.
(Frozen water excluded)

notyoueither · October 18, 2002, 03:12

Bourbon? WTF are you drinking that sheet for?

monkspider · October 18, 2002, 03:16

Tea!

But given the choice between the two, water. (Unless the said cola is Vanilla Coke, then I would have to make a tough decision.)

Urban Ranger · October 18, 2002, 03:35

Tea, juice, and water.

Horsie,

Where did you get your carp from?

Skanky Burns · October 18, 2002, 03:35

Bourbon is nice!
Why, what do you prefer?

Skanky Burns · October 18, 2002, 03:37

What does vanilla coke taste like? I've heard that it just tastes like coke that has gone flat, only it isn't flat. Which leads to the question: What does vanilla coke taste like when it is flat?

Nubclear · October 18, 2002, 03:39

Hmm......definately water, unless I have to pay. I'd rather pay for a bottle of Cola before I pay for water

I'm from Canada. What do you think? I'll give you 3 guesses, and any that do not involve beer will not count.

Skanky Burns · October 18, 2002, 03:51

And you knock my taste?!?

notyoueither · October 18, 2002, 04:05

You prefer bourbon over beer?

Heathen!

Skanky Burns · October 18, 2002, 04:08

I know, I'm strange.

monolith94 · October 18, 2002, 04:18

Hey Alex Horse… is Sprite as bad?

Paul Hanson · October 18, 2002, 04:59

Isn`t Coke basically sweet brown water in the first place?

Roland · October 18, 2002, 05:45

Water. About one glass per hour.

Coke is cheaper than bottled water ?

August Borms · October 18, 2002, 05:51

Water tastes better than cola.... but cola is better for preventing hangovers IMO

Hydey · October 18, 2002, 07:39

Tastes so sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet

There's a lot of water in concentrated sulphuric acid too.

General Ludd · October 18, 2002, 07:56

I only drink water.

FrostyBoy · October 18, 2002, 08:15

Water, if not that, then juice or milkshake. I don't drink anything else.

I always turn down a coke offered to me. I'm not gonna join the billions of dumbasses who are sucked in to the media's little controlling world.

Btw, when are they releasing the chocolate coke?

Plan Austral · October 18, 2002, 09:15

That is true, in my family we have been using coke to clean out the oxide from the tools for years.
It is really good for that.

Anyway, I prefer coke.It tastes better.

Gangerolf · October 18, 2002, 09:54

Milk!

Kassiopeia · October 18, 2002, 10:08

Water. I've never liked anything with soda, lemonades or soda water. Any amount of that carbonwhatever is way too rough for my mouth, it's like trying to eat a very acidy lemon. Yech.

... is for the children. But I still drink it!
