We all know that water is important but you've never seen it written down like this before.

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

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

3. Even MILD dehydration will slow down one's metabolism as much 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 every day?



COKE
1. In many states (in the USA) 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: Applying 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 the 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 a 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. Its pH is 2.8. 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 in osteoporosis.

2. To carry Coca-Cola syrup (the concentrate) the commercial truck must use the Hazardous Material place cards reserved for highly corrosive materials.

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


Now the question is, would YOU like a glass of water or Coke?

I drink water..but didn't that show "MythBusters" prove a lot of those "coke" things wrong? I can't remember exactly, but I am curious to find out. I'm curious to see which ones are exaggerated.

that new vanilla-cherry diet dr pepper is pretty good...
lol @ all these new flavors!! It's like they just got high one day and said " You know what would be cool?...if we just combined all the flavors!" Then the other high guy says: "that would be sweet!"

lmao! :D
 
No offense guys. To each his own. But I never understood why someone would take a nice, quality liquor like Crown Royal and mix it with coke. Might as well buy CC, or C Mist. Once you mix it with coke you'll barely be able to tell the diff.

you are exactly right. i work in a restaurant and when someone orders a top shelf liquor like woodford reserve and coke we always pour the house (kentucky tavern) with the coke and they never tell the difference. same goes with when goose and tonic is ordered. once you fuck up a nice liquour with tonic, coke or something else then you can't tell the difference.

Damn son! You nailed two of my fav's! That Woodford Reserve is... AHHHHH!
Forget Coke, hell forget water. Just give me a little WR, straight up or with a couple of ice cubes. That warm mellow aroma of fine cigars, toffee, and honey. And in the mouth it's flowery with soft notes of vanilla, and oak. Damn! Thank God my liquor cabinet is right here in my office :D . Can't beat working from home.
