An interesting thing about Coca-Cola....

[aneeshm]

... and other aerated soft drinks.

India's most popular and revered Yoga guru, Swami Ramdev, beloved of the conservatives for his patriotism and love for his country and religion, and equally beloved of the liberals for his ardently and uncompromisingly reformist attitude, asked people to try out an experiment.

He told them to take a bottle of Coca-Cola, and to use it in place of toilet cleaner (like Harpic) next time they felt like cleaning their toilets.

I tired it.

It worked better than the cleaner.



Since then, I've given up aerated drinks altogether. My relatives tell me that in Haryana, the larger bottles of Coke are unavailable to normal consumers - farmers buy them wholesale for use against a certain pest (though this is hearsay, and not confirmed).

I'd like the people here at 'poly to try out the same, and tell me their results. If this turns out to be applicable to the US versions of Coke as well, then Coca-Cola corporation has some serious explaining to do.

The toilet was totally clean? How else could anyone judge? It totally cleaned off the thin layer of **** that gets deposited on a toilet that is used for a long time.

Old news, I've heard of this trick for more then a decade, I've never done it myself but I dont doubt it works due to how often you hear about it in "Tips around the home" kind of stuff.

Somehow I expected more divine insight from your gurus....

I'm afraid that India may become a laughing stock if this catches on.

If you already knew this, HTF can you drink that stuff?

Ramdev is against Coca-Cola and many other things he sees as bad for India. This is just his way of expressing his displeasure. His main work consists of Yoga teaching in the morning using TV, not of telling people tips on how to clean their toilets.

So he's the joke.

aneeshm, you have to remember, you're dealing with jackasses.

Coca Cola, the miracle drink

[Solver]

Place some nylon tights in something filled with Coca-Cola. A few days later, they will have dissolved completely.

We used Coca-Cola in the army to get rid of beginning corrosion of our rifle parts after wet terrain practice. It will clear off paint also.

Works wonders for an upset stomach too.

And of course there's the ads..

Why on earth does he think Coca-Cola is bad for India?
