Holy ****! I'm surprised no one stopped the event before it started. I can understand one person never hearing about overdosing on water... but an entire radio station and the people at the event not knowing that too much water in too little time = death... people need to be a little more well informed.

"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."
This $-saving idea... didn't work for me; I even let it sit all day. I'll switch back to clorox. But fortunately I got the big bottle of classic coke for only $1 and can recycle the bottle. I wish it had been the classic coke of my youth (1950s/60s), made with real sugar (not corn syrup), because I would have consumed it myself, not literally poured it in the toilet...

yup, coke has citric acid which is about 2-3 ph level, our stomach is hydrocloric acid which is about -1-0 ph. Also if you swallow a T-Bone steak it will just dissolve in all the acids in your stomach, so why not take more ant-acids and stop your digestive system. The problems with coke is not this, its the sugar content you should be worried about, not the acidicty. Coke is about as acidic as lemonade, and no one has raise concerns about lemonade?
If you pour a bucket of vomit on a car it will lose all its rust and possibly paint, and that vomit was in you. (although i hope none of you have that much vomit to spare, maybe ask a balemic person or something)
These myths have all been busted..... not a single one of those coke "facts" are true..... does anyone else watch mythbusters?
Well, Coke does have one cleaning usage...
It does pretty well against RainBoe (Freon 113).
There's always the problems of seeing through a rain-dashed windshield when trying to land an aircraft in a rainshower. No matter how fast the wipers, you just can't clear the streams of water fast enough.
For jets with a really high final approach speed, you just put up with it and do your best.
RainBoe is no longer in use, but when it was, a simple actuation of the dispensing system to squirt it on a wet windshield would work wonders at making the rain "sheet" off the windshield instead of making vision-impairing streams.
Problem is, if one accidentally squirted this stuff on a dry windshield, you might as well taxi back. Can't see. If the windshield was not already wetted down, removing it proved difficult.
Decades ago someone figured that Coke (and other sodas) is good at expediting removal of this stuff from a dry aircraft windshield. Of course, since RainBoe is not used these days (it's a CFC), the Coke remedy is no longer needed.
v/r, N-A

when did proving something is a false myth matter.....
to think of all the good coke wasted to get that 30-35 foot stream of soda.....
