Just out of curiosity.... Now that I know there are all of these other formulations of Mt Dew out there.... (w/o caffeine.... That's just Wrong!) Anyone ever use the stuff for removing paint from miniatures? Just curious. :-) [quoted original message omitted]

Makes you want to know what your insides look like huh? Maybe something a marine tossing a frag grenade inside an APC fully loaded of already insured bleeding troops??

I set my subordinates to cleaning up the mess, immediately departed the motorpool, and returned to my quarters. Now, I had been tossing a can of Coke in the washing machine with oily coveralls for some time now, but that was incidental oil. This called for a two liter bottle of Coke, mostly full, poured into the sink and cut half with water. I put everything I was wearing except my boots in the sink, took a shower, put on clean uniform, and returned to the motorpool. The coveralls and boxers came out like new, you could never tell they were soaked with oil. The boots were never quite the same, but they were old, ratty motorpool boots anyway.

> G'day, Coke seems to have many of the cleaning properties of vinegar, (due to acid content?) but is not as strong smelling. I think the "urban legends" he's talking about involve things like nails or teeth dissolving in Coke. That's rather silly, since Coke definitely has nowhere near the acid content of say, the human stomach.
