	Water versus Cola - you decide Avatar Enlargement: We've got the solution

WATER

1. One glass of water will shut down midnight hunger pangs for almost 100% of the dieters studied in a U-Washington study.

2. Lack of water is the #1 trigger of daytime fatigue.

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

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

5. 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?


COLA

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 aluminium 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
.
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 Info:

1. The active ingredient in Coke is phosphoric acid.  Its pH is 2.8.  It will dissolve a nail in about 4 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 a glass of coke?

Water doesn't mix with bourbon as well as coke does.

Tea!

But given the choice between the two, water. (Unless the said cola is Vanilla Coke, then I would have to make a tough decision.)

What does vanilla coke taste like? I've heard that it just tastes like coke that has gone flat, only it isn't flat. Which leads to the question: What does vanilla coke taste like when it is flat?

Water. About one glass per hour.

Water tastes better than cola.... but cola is better for preventing hangovers IMO

Water, if not that, then juice or milkshake. I don't drink anything else.

I always turn down a coke offered to me. I'm not gonna join the billions of dumbasses who are sucked in to the media's little controlling world.

Btw, when are they releasing the chocolate coke?

That is true, in my family we have been using coke to clean out the oxide from the tools for years.
It is really good for that.

Anyway, I prefer coke.It tastes better.

Water. I've never liked anything with soda, lemonades or soda water. Any amount of that carbonwhatever is way too rough for my mouth, it's like trying to eat a very acidy lemon. Yech.
