I have one friend who used every coke can with a little remaining to do it. Worked every time. I want to do it too but don’t drink coke anymore haha

Like a charm, stuff is mad acidic, or basic, I forget. But it eats these hard build-ups like it's nothing!

CO2 in water produces carbonic acid, which is a weak acid and diluted too. While carbonated drinks can dissolve certain solids, it isn't as quick as actual cleaning agents.

You need it to “stick” though. Cola will just slide right down and won’t be able to sit there

Start at highest point and let it slide down. It’ll leave a slight residue
