Cola Myths Busted!

[jenscats5]

Was watching Mythbusters tonite on the Discovery channel & they debunked some of the cola myths.

Cola did not:
Dissolve a tooth after 24 hours (the pure phosphoric acid the 2nd tooth was in dissolved the tooth a little) The cola only turned the tooth brown

Dissolve a steak

Degrease an engine -- the grease was still there

Dissolve blood

Clean up a engine battery -- plain water did better

Cola DID clean a crome bumper up pretty nicely when the rust was scrubbed off with cola & tinfoil.

Thought it was interesting.

I put coke on my wart once and it dissolved it right there.


J/K, but that is interesting. It still is not good for you.
