How unusual to use "Coca-Cola"

In an effort to improve our daily lives, we are constantly on the lookout for innovative and sometimes slightly crazy hacks and ideas. Sometimes it comes to the fact that some foodstuffs begin to be used for other purposes, and very effectively.

Today we will talk about Coca-Cola and the possible uses of this sweet soda in everyday life. By itself, this product is quite controversial.
