Like many people, \u00a0I try to keep my soda consumption down for a number of reasons. It's a little hard to do when your spouse drinks coca cola like water and always seems to bring it in the house. \u00a0To help rid of the\u00a0temptation\u00a0lurking in my\u00a0refrigerator I have been trying checking out some different uses for the WD-40<\/a> of the beverage world.<\/p>\n

I have used many of these before but there are some I have yet to try. \u00a0Feel free to share any uses I haven't listed below!<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Helps remove gum from hair.<\/li>\n
  2. Loosen rust from many types of objects.<\/li>\n
  3. Clean burnt pans by soaking them in coke before rinsing.<\/li>\n
  4. Helps remove grease stains from fabric.<\/li>\n
  5. Mix together equal parts of coke, ketchup,\u00a0Worcestershire sauce and Italian salad dressing. Brush on to meat or let meat soak in the mixture. I love using this for steak tips!<\/li>\n
  6. Bad hair dye job? Rinse your hair in coke to help it fad faster.<\/li>\n
  7. Make low fat brownies<\/a>.<\/li>\n
  8. Use cola when you make minestrone soup<\/a>.<\/li>\n
  9. Add coke to your compost. Coke increases the acid and sugars in your compost. Doing this helps feed microorganisms.<\/li>\n
  10. If your car battery is leaking acid pour coke over it. The coke will wash away the acid and oil.<\/li>\n
  11. Drink two 12-oz cans of \u00a0coke when you have an asthma flare up.<\/li>\n
  12. Pour some coke down the\u00a0toilet, let it sit there for an hour, lightly scrub then notice your throne shine.<\/li>\n
  13. Helps make a \u00a0roast<\/a>. \u00a0Coca cola can be used to make some yummy pulled pork<\/a> too!<\/li>\n
  14. Get rid of slugs and snails in your garden. \u00a0Put little bowls of coca cola in your garden. The sugar will attract them and the acid levels will kill them.<\/li>\n
  15. Pour some coke on a jellyfish sting<\/a> to help with the pain.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
