Grease stains are famously difficult to remove from clothing and stain removers can be very expensive. Here is a cheap solution: empty a can of coke into your wash along with the usual detergent¹ and run it through a normal cycle. This is also quite effective for removing blood and it helps to deodorize smelly clothes.

衣物上的油渍是公认最难清洗的，然而去污剂可能又非常贵。这里给您提供一个省钱的解决办法：将一罐可乐连同普通的洗涤剂一起倒入洗衣机中，然后转一个周期就OK了。这种方法对清洗血渍也十分有效，同时还可以去除衣服上的异味。

This item also appeared on the beer list – and it works just the same. Pour some cola into a shallow dish and place it in the garden near the problem area. Slugs, snails², and other bugs³ will go in for a drink and never come out again! This is a very good first line of attack in your garden and it can obviously save you an enormous amount of money by reducing the need for pesticides⁴. You can pour the left over coke (minus the bugs) onto plants that like acidic soil like azaleas and gardenias⁵.

这一项在啤酒妙用中也提到过——它的原理是一样的。在一张浅碟里倒些可乐，然后把它放在花园中虫子经常出没的地方附近。鼻涕虫、蜗牛、还有一些其他的虫子会爬进去“享用”，然后就再也出不来了！在您的花园中这是多么完美的一线出击，并且这显然为您省下了买杀虫剂所需的巨额资金。之后，您可以将用过的可乐（除去虫子的）浇灌喜欢酸性土壤的植物，像杜鹃和栀子。

Coca cola is useful for a variety of ailments⁶. The most common is for soothing⁷ upset stomachs. Just slowly sip⁸ a glass of flat coke and it should help to alleviate⁹ nausea¹⁰. It is also good for people suffering from diarrhea or a sore throat. I would say that it can also cure hiccups¹¹ but, frankly¹², a glass of water should do the same thing, as the chemicals in coke don’t offer any special “anti-hiccup” magic.

可口可乐对多种疾病都很有效。最常用的是缓解反胃。慢慢呷完一满杯可乐，对缓解反胃有很大帮助。如果出现腹泻、喉咙痛的症状，可乐也有很好的疗效。我还想说的是它其实也可以治疗打嗝，但是，老实说来，一杯水应该也可以解决这个问题，因为可乐的化学成分中没有能提供特殊“防打嗝”魔力的。
