> AND now for the properties of COKE
> 1. In many states (in the USA) the highway patrol carries two

> osteoporosis.
>
> 2. To carry Coca-Cola syrup (the concentrate) the
> commercial truck must use the Hazardous material
> place cards reserved for Highly corrosive
> materials.
>
> 3. The distributors of coke have been using it to clean the
engines of
> their trucks for about 20 years!
>
> Now the question is, would you like a glass of
> water or coke?
