  • Just found another use - it kills mice! if you put a bowl of cola down and they drink it they bloat out and die because they can't burp or vomit

    Surely flat Coke wouldn't work though as it's the bubbles that would bloat them out?
    I'm so sorry if you were enjoying this thread and mine is the last post!!

    I seem to have a nasty habit of killing threads!
    :p

    I might try the chocolate cake instead of christmas cake... not that I eat chocolate but I am sure that my brothers will enjoy it.

    Perhaps travel cannot prevent bigotry. But by demonstrating that all people cry, laugh, eat, worry and die, it introduces the idea that if we try to understand each other, we may even become friends.
  • There is a recipe for a sort-of sweet and sour chicken that uses a can of diet coke (so 330ml) with i think 6 tablespoons of ketchup... Not the classiest dish, but tasty and handy in a squeeze! Goes well with rice, and I cant see the coke being flat as being a problem!

    Things like onion, sweetcorn etc go well in it too x


    Mmmmmm sounds nice ..... help in finding recipe?

    Im taking flat coke as a medicine right now prescribed by the doctors. I just come out of hospital and have low intracranial pressure causing excruciating headaches and sickness. I take a can every 4 hours and it works well with the meds. Its the caffeine that raises the pressure inside your head. I hate the stuff so it really is medicine. Kids cant believe their luck this xmas as I refuse to buy it normally but their dad went to Costco and brought a tray. Now they come into my bedroom to see me and surreptitiously scamper away with the odd can!
    I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer.
    Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
    I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over and through me. When it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
    When the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.

    Just recovering from a bout of food poisoning, and the doc has told me to drink flat coke as the sugars in it help replace energy lost and fluids.
    "Ignore the eejits...it saves your blood pressure and drives `em nuts!" :D

    yes normally, but if its already flat then the sugar reactivates it for a very short time! try it!
