Coca Cola is extremely popular among people. There is probably no person who hasn’t tasted it at least once in their life. It is tasty, refreshing and gives you energy. Experts, however, would prefer that people stop consuming it on a large scale. The reason is the fact that despite its stimulating effects, it has an adverse impact on your health in the long term. Today, however, we will not talk about its impact on humans, but about how we can use it in the household, garden, garage or elsewhere around the house.
Coca-Cola is actually one of the best cleaning agents, which it owes primarily to its high acidity. It is so acidic that it could even be used as a substitute for acid in some batteries. Its pH is 2.5, whereas the acid in a car battery has a pH around 1 (the lower the value between 7 and 1, the more acidic).
Neutral pH is 7; the opposite of acidity is alkalinity on the scale between 7 and 14.
