They did a segment on Myth Busters on Discovery Channel about the wierd things that Coca Cola does. I think rust was one of the tests, which the acid in the drink passed with flying colors! It was scarry to watch, considering that we always have Diet Coke in the house! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nancy Posted September 21, 2006 Report Share Posted September 21, 2006 Any nail polish, especially old stuff, works like Lock-tight. Clear won't show. But if you're as old as I am, purple is fun. Clear is best for stopping runs in pantyhose - unless you're punk. For a tension headache, put Vicks where it hurts. Sure, Tiger Balm is stronger, but Vicks is OK. Honey & lemon is great for a cough or soar throat. A little bourbon in the spoon just makes it better. A paste of baking soda and water takes the itch out of mosquito bites. Use meat tenderizer and water for bee or wasp stings. Don't ever tell your doctor (they go balistic), but brown washing soap (Oxydol or Fels Naptha) stops poison ivy dead. Especially if you put rubbing alcohol on after. My Lithuanian relatives swear by a small glass of beer with a teapoon of honey for about anything that bothers you. I prefer my Lithuanian beer straight, but this did perk us all up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anda Posted September 21, 2006 Report Share Posted September 21, 2006 Trick I learned in highschool: instead of clear nail polish for stopping runs in pantyhose - SOAP works wonders! I swear it saved me many times Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
