Etching with Coca Cola!

I have been reading some startling scientific facts about this liquid - good for removing car rust for starters!! So maybe someone would like to give it a go and report back. If it works, then it can be poured down your kitchen sink to clear the gunge!!

I agree with you! It's so adictive... people in Bolivia said the company has enormous coke plants, and they use it extract in the most famous drink! Funny, they said they don't use that component since 19something... a lot time ago...

I've used tin foil dipped in coke to remove rust from an old Marshall footswitch before. Worked great!

Yes, thinking about it, the Coca Cola production must demand a lot of coke plants, yet there's still a lot of pressure to shut the plantations down.

They take the cocaine out of the leaves to make the drink, but I always wondered what they do with the extracted cocaine

It's the phosphoric acid that eats, etches, de-rusts, etc.

Coke uses phosphoric acid as a more neutral-tasting acid than citric, acetic, etc.

"Cola" is a so-called fantasy flavor, made up of a composite of citrus, vanilla, and cinnamon (or cassia) blended so that no one flavor stands out. There is no noticeable addition to the taste of kola nuts, which are reportedly very bitter.

I heard that you could use Irn-Bru but I might have been lied to.

The only time I crave Coca-cola is when suffering a hangover.

Actually, I love soda, and I read about this, and supposedly the flavor is supposed to taste like the kola extract. There are some cola or kola drinks that actually use kola nuts and they taste somewhat similar, but kola nuts are supposedly cancerous. whatever, just thought i'd join in.

This makes for some interesting reading on the topic of the infamous "secret recipe". Seems there were several.

I`ll leave it at that as the last time I entered into a discussion on the subject of Coca-cola on this forum, I was called an a**hole

I lived in south america for a while and I heard rumor that each country or continent had slightly different recipes and that occasionally they rotate them around. Then again, I don't even drink the stuff...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coca-Cola_formula

"To this day, Coca-Cola uses as an ingredient from coca leaf extract prepared by a Stepan Company plant in Maywood, New Jersey, using a process monitored by the Drug Enforcement Administration. Because cocaine is naturally present in coca leaves, today's Coca-Cola uses "spent", or treated, coca leaves, those that have been through a cocaine extraction process, to flavor the beverage. Some contend that this process cannot extract all of the cocaine alkaloids at a molecular level, and so the drink still contains trace amounts of the stimulant. The Coca-Cola Company currently refuses to comment on the continued presence of coca leaf in Coca-Cola."
