Science has demonstrated that drinking water increases the human metabolism. Additionally, it decreases hunger pangs and has been linked to a decrease in colon, breast and bladder cancers. At the same time, drinking water increases energy, focus, and memory. Coke, on the other hand, is said to remove grease from clothes, stains from toilet bowls, and rust from bumpers, batteries, and bolts. In some states, members of the highway patrol reportedly carry containers of Coke in their patrol cars to remove blood from the highway.
