Coca Cola: The Nectar of the Gods?

"My name is Rachael and I am an addict."

OK, before everyone (or my three readers, whatever) read that statement and jump to conclusions, let me explain... I love Coke (the drink, not the drug.) I mean, I love it so much, my mouth waters when I think about it. I drink it first thing in the morning and at hour intervals during the day. I think it is time I break my habit and this is why:

1. In many states the highway patrol carries 2 gallons of Coca Cola to remove blood from the roadway after an accident.

2. You can put a T-bone steak in a bowl of Coca Cola and it will disolve in two days.

3. To clean a toilet, pour a can of Coca Cola in it and let it sit for an hour. The acid in coke will remove all stains from the bowl.

4. To remove rust stains from a car bumper, rub Coca COla on it.

5. To clean corrosion from a car battery, pour Coca Cola over it.

Fun Facts:

The active ingredient in Coca Cola is phosphoric acid. It will disolve a nail in 2 days or a tooth in about 5.

To Carry Coca Cola syrup, a commercial truck must use a hazzardous material card reserved for highly corrosive materials.

Ok, I'm not going to lie, Mike's mom sent me an email with all those facts in it years ago and it didnt slow down my coke consumption frenzy one bit. Here is the real reason:

These jeans. I absolutely love these jeans. They are hanging in my closet and they are currently super tight on me! I mean, when I try to put them on, I have to do the whole 8th grade maneuver... lay across the bed flat and suck in your tummy while your best friend zips them up for you.

I really like these jeans and the pair that hangs beside them (same brand, same size.) I think if I can cut back on the oh, 700 calories of empty calories I DRINK every day ( 1coke = 140 cal x 5 cokes a day) I can fit into these jeans in like 6 weeks maybe??? It doesn't hurt to try. Stay tuned for an update on a future blog.
