Use Coke to Fade Unwanted Hair Dye

Although at-home hair-dye jobs are a great way to experiment with your self-expression and save money on expensive salon trips, it’s easy for them to go a little wrong. Maybe the color you’ve chosen didn’t turn out quite the way you expected, or perhaps you realized it simply isn’t the right tone for you. In those instances, Coca-cola is an excellent solution for helping you fade out the unwanted color.

First, pour diet-coke over your wet hair and leave it in for five minutes. Then rinse it off! This method works best on temporary hair dyes that you apply at home.

Make Some Fudge

Looking for a sugary treat? Yes, Coke is basically that in a bottle already. But why not get a little more creative by experimenting with Coca-cola fudge recipes you can make at home? Fudge is a great after-dinner dessert that satisfies a sweet tooth's cravings. The best part about this hack? It takes no more than ten minutes. To make this fudge, stir sweetened condensed milk into a mixture of Coca-cola and sugar and bring it to a boil.

There are many ways you can add extra flavor to your Coca-cola fudge. For example, marshmallow cream, chocolate chips, and even coca-cola extract. Once the mixture is finished, scrape it into a pan and leave it in the fridge for two hours to settle.

Use Coke Bottles as Storage Solutions

While this hack won’t blow any minds, it is good to remember that a good-sized coke bottle with its sturdy design can be used in various crafting projects. One of the simplest uses for an empty coke bottle is to use it as a storage container to keep your favorite crafting tools close at hand. All you need to do is cut a clear two-liter plastic bottle roughly in half.

Of course, this depends on how tall you want your container. Then, leave a flap where you can drill a hole to hang your container on the wall! While the bottom of the bottle is well-suited to storage containers, the top can be crafted into a DIY plastic-bag dispenser. Just cut off the bottle-neck end and feed your plastic bags into the larger opening at the top.

Remove Oil-Based Paint With Coca-Cola

Here’s a Coca-cola hack for DIYers and anyone on a cleaning frenzy. You can use Coke to help you remove unwanted paint coatings and stains. Just soak a towel in Coke and soap water and gently rub it evenly over the affected area. Of course, you’ll want to wait until the paint starts to warp so it's easier to scrape off. The best thing about this Coke remedy is that you can use it on so many surfaces.

You can clear paint from anything ranging from metal tools to furniture. So, if you're about to embark on your next paint job, have a couple of Coke bottles to hand in case of splatters!

Drink Coke to Relieve Constipation

There's nothing more uncomfortable than the belly aches and the lethargy that comes with constipation. If you struggle with this, you may be looking for cheap and reliable remedies. One such solution is to treat yourself to a glass of Coke. Thanks to this soda's caffeine content, you may find that drinking Coke help to get things moving again (if you catch our drift!). Interestingly caffeine can have a laxative effect.

However, we caveat everything we've just said by bringing to your attention that there isn't any scientific evidence to back this up. That said, having a small Coke glass certainly won't harm you.
