Wash Out the Stain with Your Cola

Wash Out the Stain with Your Cola

September 26th, 2007

Ever wonder what to do with bottles of flat cola? Well most people throw them away but if you have lots of time and curiosity to spare, check out www.wackyuses.com for some other ideas. Just like the name says, this website gives readers tips and suggestions on many other things to do with their everyday consumer products. Some are useful (did you know that Smirnoff can help sooth a sore throat?), some are questionable (got some cracks in your plaster wall? Colgate to the rescue) and some are just outright wacky (got a cold? Rub some French’s mustard on your chest). Don’t forget to check out the Weird Facts page or you’d never know that psychiatrists have referred to gum chewing as  “oral masturbation.”
