If I remenber well, Coke is full of phosphoric acid. Once upon a time, I was cleaning some KR2 parts while watching TV and drinking booze. I had put the parts in a glass. Guess what? I took the wrong glass, and sipped some engine degreaser, based on phosphoric acid. Strongest taste I ever got! Took me a week to recover.

Wait a couple of minutes and flush with water. BTW don't get that crap on your hands, don't ask how I know. Basically a watered down version of muratic acid (the stuff they use to etch concrete). Works like a charm and unlike it's full strength partner will not harm the metal. In the old days we used to use Coke to remove rust from chrome car parts.
