Recording Two

　　Did you think Coca-Cola was just for drinking? Well, you thought wrong. This delicious soft drink might be great to sip on, but it can also be used to complete odd jobs around the house. Coca-Cola was first invented in 1886, but the company quickly realized that they were better off selling the product as soda pop.

　　Now, let’s see how you can use Coke to do everything from cleaning your coffee pot to removing bloodstains.

　　1. Keep your toilets sparkling clean.

　　This hack might sound odd, but we promise it works. Coca-Cola contains a lot of acid, and the acid in the pop can actually help kill germs that can’t live in high acid environments. All you have to do is to pour some Coke around the edges of your toilet bowl. Let the Coke work its magic overnight, and then in the morning, clean your toilet bowl with a scrub brush. Flush a few times and enjoy a fresh, clean toilet.

　　2. Help soothe jellyfish stings.

　　Have you ever been stung by a jellyfish? No? Well, lucky you. In case you ever do get stung by a jellyfish in the future, not that we’re wishing that misfortune upon you, you can use coke to help soothe the burn.

　　Just open up some Coke and continuously pour the soda on the sting for at least 30 seconds. Then go straight to the doctor and get some professional medical help. Coke won’t cure the sting, but it will take the pain away.

　　3. Defrost your car in the winter.

　　If you live in a cold climate, you know that sinking feeling of walking out to your car in the morning only to discover that it’s encased in a sheet of ice. Now you’re going to be late to work because you have to spend ten minutes scraping all of that ice off your car. We have a better solution. Pour some Coca-Cola over the windshield. Within a minute the ice should turn to slush and brush right off.

　　4. Remove stuck-on grease.

　　Forget about buying expensive dish cleaning soap like Dawn or Tide when you can use a product you already have in your fridge.

　　If you soak your greasy pans and cheese dishes in Coca-Cola for 30 minutes, they will come out looking de-greased and sparkling. I’d love to see a dish soap commercial for Coca-Cola of a family rushing around to do dishes and pouring Coke into the sink instead.
