Coke has been my favorite soft drinks when I was young. I used to drink it a lot when I was still in primary school.When I grew up , someone shown me that there were many ways to make use of a coke . Some people can boil it and make it a hot drink. Another one can boil it and make chicken wings with that and it taste good.Well, I am not a good cook but still find that it was very interesting and creative to use a soft drink like that. If you know some other ways , you can share with us.

Coke.....boil it? well it sounds weird to me but I guess this is a free country you can do anything you want it to do.Anyway I have one other way to use coke since it's all acid you can use it as toilet bowl cleaner the reason why I drink coke once in a while because the acid is too strong that can damage your internal organ. You can have some but not too much.

I always use cola in my beef stew and it is in the linked recipe for cola braised pot roast. http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/emeril-lagasse/cola-braised-pot-roast-recipe/index.html It is delicious and make a really good gravy.

The coke is not a healthy drink so that it is better not to drink it so often. You are right. I also use it to make the coke chicken wings and it tastes well. Besides, I heard some people say that if you add a few pieces of ginger inside the coke and then boil it. It will be a good drink when you catch a cold. I love China

When my father was alive, one of his favorite things to cook was fajitas. Whenever he would cook them, he would add a splash of coke into the peppers and onions because it would help them to caramelize. I still remember that to this day. I've tried to do it with Pepsi because that is my soda of choice, but it doesn't work nearly as well as using coke to do this with does. I also remember him using a little bit of cook as a fertilizer for my mother's plants.

Add Coke to a marinade mix to marinade a roast before cooking. Using a slow cooker, then add a little more Coke to the cooking liquid and the roast will become moist and tender when it is time to eat.

Well I do know that when my son was smaller and older neighbor of mine told me to take Coke and let it set and stale. After that put it in my sons bottle and it would take away his stomach ache. It really worked. It has to be regular coke though. I do not know of any special recipes but I do know if you drink alot of coke you can sign up with my coke rewards and put in those codes on the caps and boxes. After so many points you can redeem for prizes. I usually just cash in for a coupon for a free 12 pack of Coke products.

Coke Can Stirling Cycle Engine - I wouldn't do this down here, as these cans are worth ten cents each, but others have done it & you can too!
I think you can actually make your own batteries out of coke, but I've forgotten how to do this. It's somewhere out there in web-land right now. The can itself has many uses, but I'd rather take it to the recycling centre & get ten cents cash back for it. I think they used to squash the can end-on & kick it around like a soccer ball. I've never drunk the stuff. I have heard that they used to make it with the same stuff they make sheep dip from, but that was banned after the 1940s. The stuff they put in it now, I hear, isn't much better for you!

Add a piece of ginger and a few slices of lemon to a cup of boiling coke and serve hot. This is a remedy good for relieve of stuffy nose and headache as a result of Common Cold or Flu. It has a nice soothing effect. Also, to loosen a bolt or a screw that got stuck with rust, try putting a piece of cloth soaked in Coke on it for a few minute.

I've found that using coke is a great way to clean my golf clubs. I just soak my club heads for two or three minutes then brush off the debris. It gets clean fast.
