Water (Vs.) Coke

RATSOADM · 04-09-2007, 05:28 PM

WATER
#1. 75% of Americans are chronically dehydrated. (Likely applies to half the world population.)
#2. In 37% of Americans, the thirst mechanism is so weak that it is
mistaken for hunger.
#3. Even MILD dehydration will slow down one's metabolism 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.
#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 drink every day?

COKE
#1. In many states 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 aluminum 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.
#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 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 the 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 INFORMATION:
#1. The active ingredient in Coke is phosphoric acid. 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 of osteoporosis.
#2. To carry Coca-Cola syrup! (the concentrate) the commercial trucks
must use a hazardous Material place cards reserved for highly corrosive
materials.
#3. The distributors of Coke have been using it to clean engines of
the trucks for about 20 years!

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

But Coke is so delicious..

Ah, well, none for me anyways. On a diet <3.
I'm drinking so much water I'm pissing every 10 minutes.

Yeah my dad sent me that a while ago. I understand that I should drink more water. And I have. I almost never drink soft drinks anymore, they do not agree with my stomach.

I have this issue where I cannot drink normal bottled or tap water. I find it has no taste in my opinion. I can only drink flavored water. I do not, however get the carbonated flavor water, it's as bad as soft drinks.

I have recently fallen in love with Vitamin Water. I get a ton of them every time I go to the store. I wish they came in cases though, it's difficult to carry 5 bottles in your hands.

While we're talking about the urban myths circulating coke, let's add in the one about it being able to clean a crime scene, as well as eat through the warhead of a nuclear missile.

Seriously, most (actually, I think all) of those above mentioned uses for Coke have been disproved. Hell, they even did them on MythBusters.

That being said, it does dehydrate you (mostly from all the sugar), and is not anywhere near as healthy as water (counting calories alone, it's a shameful excuse of a beverage). But let's not get carried away, here.

I thought most of those things seemed like they could not be true. I just was not in the mood to disprove it on my own.

I swear the crime scene thing is true. My grandpa was highway patrol for 15 years and a cop for 15, they used it to clean blood off the highways after bad accidents.
Also, if you drink 4 of those big guys in an hour you will die. Weird. I never have liked Coke because of the cleaning up blood thing.
