OK a little time to try and support and blog about something other than my depressing depression
I actually helped flyer and campaign about this company a few years back and I forgot until I watched the documentary on MORE4 last night that reminded me of the plight and also that I am not entirely self centred. http://www.channel4.com/news/articles/dispatches/mark+thomas+on+cocacola/1068847
Here is the company's response to the documentary....
I hate the drink. I believe for many reasons it is bad for our health and it is aiding in hurting our children as well as other soft fizzy drinks and sodas as they are also known. It is said that they, much like the other large conglomerate NESTLE' are preventing fresh water from being pumped into certain areas so that the only option is to buy and consume their many products...Allegedly!
The Many Uses of Coca-Cola
1. To clean a toilet: Pour a can of Coca-Cola into the toilet bowl. let the "real thing" sit for one hour, then flush clean. The citric acid in Coke removes stains from vitreous china.
2. To remove rust spots from chrome car bumpers: Rub the bumper with a crumpled-up piece of Reynolds wrap aluminum foil dipped in Coca-Cola.
3. To clean corrosion from car battery terminals: Pour a can of Coca-Cola over the terminal to bubble away the corrosion.
4. To loosen a rusty bolt: Applying a cloth soaked in Coca-Cola to rusted bolt: Applying a cloth soaked in Coca-Cola to the rusted bolt for several minutes.
5. 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.
6. To remove grease from clothes: Empty a can of Coke into a load greasy clothes, add detergent, and run through a regular cycle.
7. The Coca-Cola will help loosen grease stains. It will also clean road haze from your windshield.
AND WE DRINK THIS STUFF:
FYI- The active ingredient in Coke is phosphoric acid. It's pa is 2.8. It will dissolve a nail in about 4 days.
The distributors of coke have been using it to clean the engines of their trucks for about 20 years.
Drink up.
