Things go better with Coke? A Latvian man drove his Audi into a pool of 12,000 liters of Coca-Cola and 88 pounds of baking soda to see if it would help get rid of his car's rust! Tacky tally! There are more fake flamingos in the world than real ones. Eel pulling, a popular game in 19th century Amsterdam, was like tug-of-war, but played with a live eel instead of a rope. The Mashuk-Akva Term Spot and Zheleznovdoisk, Russia, unveiled a Monument to enemas in 2008.

Phosphoric acid is a component of cola, but a small one. It is the main ingredient in Naval Jelly and bar and chain oil. Phosphoric acid does neutralize and remove some surface rust

The pink color of flamingos comes from carotenoids in their food, processed by their livers.

That enema doohinkus looks just like the thing I use to clean out my ear wax. I sure hope it wasn’t being used for enemas before I inherited it… ☹
