I was in the pub last night and my mate reckons coke was invented by a chemist and it initially had a small amount of cocaine in it in order to get people addicted and make repeat purchases.

Is that true?

"While cocaine-infused beverages may seem far-fetched to modern readers, these drinks were quite common in the late 19th century. Cocaine was not made illegal in the United States until 1914, and until then, the substance had a variety of (sometimes questionable) medical uses. Cocaine tonics, powders and pills were popularly believed to cure a variety of ailments, from headache and fatigue to constipation, nausea, asthma and impotence." ............................ http://www.livescience.com/41975-does-coca-cola-contain-cocaine.html

Brown sauce that you pour over bacon and sausages does the same thing

I like a little bit of HP on my well grilled or oven baked bacon n egg .
Really ? "TUT" - another thing to give up on then .
 
I always used to clean coins with HP sauce when I was little. Brings them up like new.

I do enjoy a dollop with a sausage, but having tested the meal with and without the HP I have thrown the bottle away.
 
My mother always used to reminisce about how much nicer coke was, during her childhood.
She looked like she'd sucked a lime the day we kids explained why....

Aah... Happy days!

Well you can guess what I am doing now ?
Whizzing the 2 HP bottles in the bin .
Tomato ketchup and salad cream okay huh ?
I only had and used a small puddle of it too .

We have a thread derail with this one I realise .
If you all wish we can do a 'sauces' thread to further discuss this ?
 
While you're at it you'd better throw out the tomato sauce as well.....................

"We are going to clean the pennies with the ketchup. Put a little ketchup onto a plate. You want enough to cover an area about the size of 3-4 pennies. Place some pennies into the ketchup. You may need to add more ketchup to cover them. Let them sit for a minute and then (this is the messy part) rub them with your fingers. Rinse them off in the sink and you will find that you have some bright, shiny pennies."

Its like brasso on metal
It's in the bin for this 'lot' for sure - Guaranteed .

It would be worth changing the title of this thread to
Cola and Sauces ?

This could highlight these to other members attention .
Let me know if you wish this done .

Done it - changed the heading of this topic for all .

Lemon on your fish Anna??.................................you might not want to

 
I strongly believe our grandkids won't believe how we poisoned ourselves with sugar.

Nobody, that I know of, drinks tea with 8 sugars.
 
Lemon too
I LOVE lemon slices in water too .
Hot or cold water .

Even lemon slices with a slim line tonic water ?
Duh - This isn't 'fair'

Oranges ? Limes ?
Safe ?

Yes. I read about it many years ago. I didn't read Adrian's link, but I heard that cocaine was advertised as giving "buoyancy to the mind". Sheesh!
 
Gin is another!!!! I clean my diamond rings in gin, as did my mum and her mum before her. Just pop them in a glass, leave them over night. No need to rub. They come out sparkling clean.
