Top 10 Unusual Uses For Coca Cola
We have previously published articles on unusual uses for peanut butter and beer which proved very popular – so today we are presenting another fun list of out-of-the-ordinary uses for a rather ordinary product: coke. Coke was introduced by the Coca Cola company in 1886 – making it a rather true and tested favorite of generations of people in over 200 countries (at least according to the company). This list should give you some ideas on how to get more from your coke than usual.
由于先前我们发布的关于花生酱和啤酒妙用的文章广受欢迎——所以今天我们又列出了一种相当普通商品的非凡妙用以飨读者:可乐。可乐是可口可乐公司于1886年推出的产品——并且它也成为了能真正经得住200多个国家好几代人考验的最受欢迎的产品(至少公司是这样对外宣称的)。以下内容将会为您揭开可乐非凡妙用的面纱:
10 Rust Buster
10、铁锈克星
Coca Cola is an excellent rust buster. If you have a bunch of small objects that need de-rusting, soak them in coke overnight and give them a good scrub in the morning. The properties of coke help to break down the rust particles, making cleaning much easier. You can also apply coke to a chrome finish which is rust spotted – pour some on a rough textured cloth and rub it in a circular motion. Be sure to throw out the used coke when you are done with it or you might be taking a trip to the doctor.
可口可乐是铁锈的“天敌”。如果您有一堆小零件需要除锈,把它们在可乐里泡一夜,早晨起来给它们“洗个澡”就OK了。由于可乐的化学特性有助于分解铁锈颗粒,从而清洗起来更加容易。您也可以在有锈斑的镀铬物表面涂上一层可乐——砂布上也来些,然后转圈打磨,即可除锈。辛苦地除完锈之后,您一定要记得把这些用过的可乐给丢掉哟,不然您可能得受累去找医生了。
9 Clean a Window
9、洁窗助手
Like the previous item, the citric acid in Coke makes for an excellent window cleaner. This is especially useful for car windows which can get tough buildups of gunk. Pour over the can of coke and rub the window – then wipe it off with a damp cloth (to ensure the removal of any sticky residue from the sugars in the drink). Think of this like a cheap alternative to the many citrus fruit based cleaners that are sold on TV.
如同上一项的作用机理,可乐中的柠檬酸是清洗窗户的好助手。这对经常受顽固油腻物积累影响的车窗特别有用。在窗子上倒一罐可乐,然后擦拭——最后用湿布擦去窗子上的可乐(以确保来自饮料的黏性糖类残留物清除干净)。仔细一想,这还真有点像是对电视上销售的许多柑橘类清洁剂的廉价替代。
8 Eat It
8、烹饪搭档
Coke can be used for a variety of cooking techniques. You can mix it half and half with BBQ sauce for an excellent marinade, and you can even casserole an entire chicken in it. Here is a tasty recipe for chicken pieces cooked on the stove top with coke – try it, you will be pleasantly surprised. The sugars give a deep glossy coating and caramelized flavor, while the citric acid (found in lemons) gives a nice tang. Coke also makes a great glaze for baked ham.
可乐可以被用在各种烹饪技巧中。您可以用它和烧烤酱汁1:1搭配调制出可口的腌泡汁,您甚至可以用它来煲整只鸡。在此为您奉上一份用炉火烹制的美味可乐鸡块食谱——试一下,您会有意想不到的惊喜。糖类会给鸡块涂上深深的光泽,并且赋予焦糖风味;同样,柠檬酸(来自柠檬)炖出了鲜美的汤。可乐也可使烤肠滑润可口。【译者注:食谱附后】
7 De-Skunk
7、除臭威士
For those of you who live in areas where skunk smells can be an issue from time to time, one can of coke added to a bucket of water with detergent really helps to break the odor down. If you have been sprayed, stand in the shower and cover yourself from head to toe with coke – wait for a few minutes, then rinse off. The added bonus is that coke is an excellent hair treatment so you get two tips for the price of one with this item!
对于那些居住在时常会被臭鼬气味困扰地方的人们,一罐可乐外加一桶含有清洁剂的水可以完全帮您除去异味。如果您不幸被它“击中”,不要在意,站在喷头下面,从头到脚都淋上可乐——过几分钟,然后冲洗干净。就这么简单!最后再送您一份秘诀,让您花一份钱得两份实惠:可乐是极佳的头发护理品。
6 Pain Killer
6、止痛高手
The chemicals in coca cola can be very effective to help neutralize the pain of jellyfish stings. The best thing about this is that while most people at the beach are unlikely to be carrying anti-sting lotions, they are likely to be carrying a bottle of coke. Just pour the coke over the area in which you have been stung and feel the relief. If you don’t happen to have any coke, the other alternative treatment is to pee on the stung part of your body – or to have someone else pee on it for you.
可口可乐的化学成分对水母蜇伤有很强的止痛效果。这个办法的好处是,大部分人去海边玩时不大可能特意带上防蜇液,然而他们很可能要带一瓶可乐。只用将可乐倒在被蜇的区域,然后就会感觉到疼痛的减轻。如果您实在找不到可乐,另一个可供选择的疗法就是对刺痛部分撒尿——当然,别人的尿也同样有效。
5 De-blacken Pots
5、锅底除黑
Pots can sometimes get a black film on the bottom which is almost impossible to remove; this is caused by over-cooking or just natural discoloration due to highly acidic foods. To remove the black and restore your pot to new, pour in a can of coke (or as much as you need to cover the blackened area by an inch) and put it on the stove on a low heat. After an hour or so, wash the pot as normal.
有时候锅底会出现一薄层黑色物质,很难清洗掉;这是由于过度烹煮或高酸性食品所引起的变色。为了消除顽固黑斑,恢复原锅新貌,只用向其中倒入一罐可乐(或者只要刚好覆盖着变黑的地方就行)然后放在小火的火炉上。大约一个小时之后,像平常一样把锅清洗干净就行了。
4 Clean Clothes
4、清洗衣物
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 detergent 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。
3 Kill Bugs
3、消灭虫子
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, snails, and other bugs 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 pesticides. You can pour the left over coke (minus the bugs) onto plants that like acidic soil like azaleas and gardenias.
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。
2 Heal Yourself
2、治疗疾病
Coca cola is useful for a variety of ailments. The most common is for soothing upset stomachs. Just slowly sip a glass of flat coke and it should help to alleviate nausea. It is also good for people suffering from diarrhea or a sore throat. I would say that it can also cure hiccups but, frankly, 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。
1 Make an Explosion
1、“火山”喷发
Most people who have been around on the Internet for at least a few years will be familiar with the diet-coke-Mentos volcano. The idea is that you drop a Mentos into a bottle of coke and the chemical reaction causes the coke to spurt for miles (not literally of course). The video clip above shows a great example of this fun use for coke. Why not buy a bunch of bottles this weekend and see if you can do better than the efforts shown above?
大部分在网上混了几年的人对可乐—曼坨珠火山可能并不陌生。它就是将一颗曼坨珠糖丢到一瓶可乐中,所引起的化学反应能使可乐喷出数英里高(当然有点夸张)。【译者注:网上查得,喷出高度可超过一米!】上面的视频剪辑展示了可乐这一有趣的玩法。这个周末为什么不多买几瓶,看一下您能否比上面视频中做的更好?【译者注:视频貌似打不开,见谅!】
4 to 6 pieces chicken filets 4至6块鸡块
1 pkg. scallions 一捆葱
2 garlic cloves 两瓣蒜
1/2 tsp. thyme 半茶匙百里香
3 tbsp. oil (olive oil) 3汤匙油(橄榄油)
1 oz. Coke-Cola 一盎司可口可乐
Season the chicken with salt, garlic and scallions. Leave it in refrigerator overnight. Next day, put the oil in the pan and heat it until the oil is hot. Put the chicken in the pan. When it’s brownish on one side turn it to the other side. Then throw in the garlic and scallions and sprinkle the thyme over the chicken. When it is brownish on that side then pour the Coke-Cola over the chicken and keep the flame high until the coke is evaporated.
Pierce each piece of chicken with the fork. Press it and move it around the pan in order to absorb the sugar. Cover the pan and leave it covered for 5-8 minutes after you turn off the stove. Larger pieces may need 2 or 3 more minutes of cooking. To be served over pasta or rice.
用叉子将鸡块刺破,按着在锅中来回移动以吸收糖分。关掉炉火后,盖上盖子闷5—8分钟,大块的可能多需要两三分钟。最后放在意大利面或米饭上,香甜美味,不可阻挡……
