COKE / BOUNCE AND THEIR USES

 

BOUNCE...the stuff you use in your dryer:

 *Repels mosquitoes
        Tie a sheet of Bounce through a belt loop when outdoors during  
        mosquito season.  (I wish I had known this before I lost two  
        quarts of blood while watering plants!)

 *Eliminates static electricity from your television screen. 
        Since Bounce is designed to help eliminate static cling, wipe your
        television screen with a used sheet of Bounce to keep dust from  
        resettling.

 *Dissolves soap scum from shower doors. 
        Clean with a used sheet of Bounce.

 *Freshens the air in your home. 
        Place an individual sheet of Bounce in a drawer or hang one in  
        the closet.

 *Prevents thread from tangling. 
        Run a threaded needle through a sheet of Bounce to eliminate the 
        static cling on the thread before sewing.

 *Eliminates static cling from pantyhose. 
        Rub a damp, used sheet of Bounce over the hose.

 *Prevents musty suitcases
        Place an individual sheet of Bounce inside empty luggage before 
        storing.

 *Freshens the air in your car. 
        Place a sheet of Bounce under the front seat.

*Cleans baked-on food from a cooking pan. 
        Put a sheet in the pan, fill with water, let sit overnight, and sponge 
        clean. The anti-static agents apparently weaken the bond between 
        the food and the pan while the fabric softening agents soften the 
        baked-on food.

 *Eliminates odors in wastebaskets. 
        Place a sheet of Bounce at the bottom of the wastebasket.

*Collects cat hair. 
        Rubbing the area with a sheet of Bounce will magnetically attract 
        all the loose hairs.

*Eliminates static electricity from Venetian blinds.
        Wipe the blinds with a sheet of Bounce to prevent dust from  
         resetting.

*Deodorizes shoes or sneakers. 
        Place a sheet of Bounce in your shoes or sneakers overnight so 
        they'll smell great in the morning.

And now, Coca-Cola:

 *To clean a toilet: 
       
Pour a can of Coca-Cola into the toilet. Let the "real thing" sit for 
        one hour, then flush clean. The citric acid in Coke removes stains 
        from vitreous china.

 *To remove rust spots from chrome car bumpers: 
        Rub the bumper with a crumpled-up piece of Reynolds Wrap 
        aluminum foil dipped in Coca-Cola.

 *To clean corrosion from car battery terminals: 
        Pour a can of Coca-Cola over the terminals to bubble away the 
        corrosion.

*To loosen a rusted bolt: 
         Applying a cloth soaked in Coca-Cola to the rusted bolt for  
         several minutes.

*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.

*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.

                    And... WE DRINK THIS STUFF!
