Aw... poor baby. But let me put this in perspective, you can't find a drink, whilst I can't find any John Wayne trinkets.

Let's just say my tea is wild!

That's what you get for adding LSD to your tea.....

Quote from Stumpy

You sissies -

Damn straight I am a sissie... I just don't know how you found that out.

I can't stand coffee, I prefer Hot Cocoa.

Yeah I fall for this all the time so I am going to edit the first post and make it out to be a hoax.

Actually now that you point it out, I believe that I read this years ago on Snopes... any excuse not to drink it is a good excuse I suppose, even if it's blatantly stupid and false. I just love to fall these dang hoaxes time after time, tell me aliens have landed and I say "baloney", but tell me Coca-Cola is pure evil then I say , "REALLY? now that I believe."

they wouldn't allow the product on the shelves. I for one have been drinking Coke for over 40 years. So don't spread this around if anything warn people that before they go spreading fake info like this to check the Internet and use some common sense.

Some of that stuff concerning the Coca-Cola is true, but I had my doubts about the rest of it though. However before I put a lid on it forever I am going to do some of the experiments.

I do believe they mean an iron nail, and they are not denying that water dissolves nails, they are just saying that Coca-Cola does much faster.

Even as I child I hated the way it made my mouth feel. But I am tempted to try some of what they said.

This was an email I received from my Grandma, God bless, she tries to look out for me but sometimes like most of us she falls for hoaxes. So originally this was presented as a genuine concern, but research and the gracious Dakota Surfer have proved that I am such a fool for falling for this.... yet again.

WATER

#1. 75% of Americans are chronically dehydrated.
(Likely applies to half the world population.)


#2. In 37% of Americans, the thirst mechanism is so weak
that it is mistaken for hunger.


#3. Even MILD dehydration will slow down one's metabolism as 3%.

#4. One glass of water will shut down midnight hunger pangs
for almost 100% of the dieters studied in a University of
Washington study.


#5. Lack of water, the #1 trigger of daytime fatigue.


#6. Preliminary research indicates that 8-10 glasses of
water a day could significantly ease back and joint pain
for up to 80% of sufferers.


#7. A mere 2% drop in body water can trigger fuzzy short-term
memory, trouble with basic math, and difficulty focusing on
the computer screen or on a ! printed page.


#8. Drinking 5 glasses of water daily decreases the risk of
colon cancer by 45%, plus it can slash the risk of breast
cancer by 79%., and one is 50% less likely to develop
bladder cancer. Are you drinking the amount of water
you should drink every day?

COKE

#1. In many states the highway patrol carries
two gallons of Coke in the trunk to remove blood from
the highway after a car accident.

#2. You can put a T-bone steak in a bowl of Coke
and it will be gone in two days.

#3. 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. The citric acid in Coke removes
stains from vitreous china.

#4. To remove rust spots from chrome car bumpers:
Rub the bumper with a rumpled-up piece of Reynolds
Wrap aluminum foil dipped in Coca-Cola.

#5. To clean corrosion from car battery terminals: Pour
a can of Coca-Cola over the terminals to bubble
away the corrosion.

#6. To loosen a rusted bolt: Apply a cloth soaked in Coca-Cola
to the rusted bolt for several minutes.

#7. To bake a moist ham: Empty a can of Coca-Cola into
the baking pan, wrap the ham in aluminum foil, and bake.
Thirty minutes before ham is finished, remove the foil, allowing the drippings to mix
with the Coke for a sumptuous brown gravy.

#8... To remove grease from clothes: Empty a can of Coke
into the load of greasy clothes, add detergent, and run
through a regular cycle. The Coca-Cola will help loosen
grease stains. It will also clean road haze from your
windshield.

FOR YOUR INFORMATION:

#1. the active ingredient in Coke is phosphoric acid.
It will dissolve a nail in about four days. Phosphoric
acid also leaches calcium from bones and is a major
contributor to the rising increase of osteoporosis.

#2.To carry Coca-Cola syrup! (the concentrate) the
commercial trucks must use a hazardous Material place
cards reserved for highly corrosive materials.

#3. The distributors of Coke have been using it to clean
engines of the trucks for about 20 years!
