Get the scoop! Fro-yo and COKE!

Ok guys! Here we are. Week 6. I have shared my obsession with you now for five weeks in a row. We have covered the romantic side of Coke and in my opinion it is not a true Olympic season without a gazillion Coke sponsored commercials. Well done friends, we have laid a solid Coke foundation.

And the question on everyone’s mind? What now???

Well, to be honest, I asked myself the same question today. I said, “Kennedy, what is going on in the World of Coke today???”

To the best of my knowledge, it is not polar bear appreciation day or anything, so what topic is appropriate for February 28th?

The answer lies with Menchies.

Many of you are familiar with the fro-yo craze that seems to be sweeping the nation. It started with Frog Berry. Then Yogolait came into our lives. And now, there is the blissful happy hour during which we all flock to Menchies.

Now, I could use this blog time to debate the pros and cons, favorite flavors vs. favorite toppings – basically stir up a rousing, controversial discussion about the merits of the sampling cup, but that is neither here nor there. I guess we will have to save that debate for another blogger.

Now I have a point guys, bear with me.
So, how does the answer lie with Menchies? Insert story:

I went to Menchies tonight. The flavor of my choosing today was a dollop of pomegranate raspberry sorbet on a bed of York Peppermint Patty with a surrounding layer of original tart. Add ants (chocolate sprinkles) and a few pieces of cookie dough and you are all set. Pure bliss.

Now, as I was eating, I got a small small, teensy tiny bit of pomegranate raspberry on my shirt. Sorry mom.

Then, follow this brain wave:
Stain – club soda – club soda – soda pop – soda pop – COKE! Crazy uses for COKE!

And that, my friends, is how I came up with today’s topic! I wanted to see what crazy uses there are in the world for Coke!

Here is what I found thanks to Jennifer Eblin from associatedcontent.com:

Coke is excellent for cleaning things! The citric acid is great at removing stains – in your toilet, or in your laundry!!! Put coke in the bowl of the toilet and let it sit for an hour-ish (or longer) and then flush or pour a can of Coke into the laundry with your regular detergent! The Coke washes out (or down) and takes stains with it! Coke is also good at removing grease from backsplashes, countertops or stoves and ovens. Coca-Cola also has numerous unusual uses around the outside of your house! You can use the soda on any rusty bolts or screws, to loosen them. Crazy, huh!
Coke is also a good rust remover! Got a rusty bumper??? Forget Lighting McQueen and “Rusteeze” Just use COKE!



So, now don’t be alarmed. Coke! On a toilet or a rusty bumper? And I am drinking that?!?
Yes. And it is still delicious. Who knows, today rusty screws and bolts, a little grease in the kitchen, tomorrow, the COMMON COLD.

Drink up, my friends. Drink up!
