Do you remember how horrible chalk sounded on a blackboard? And how it never wrote properly on a blackboard that had just been washed or repainted?

Well, when working in a restaurant (and writing the specials on blackboards every day), I was told that wiping the board down with a little bit of coke before writing on it would solve all the problems. And it did! It may be due to the chalk sticking to the sugar, but I never thought about it too much.

Anyway, if you have a blackboard at home for your kids, or if you're a restauranteur, or a teacher, you could use it to improve the writing quality of your blackboard's surface.

Great video tradinghippie- the sheer indulgence of it! Pity I've only got the one bottle of cola -not too fizzy either.

Default 2 litre bottle of stale Cola

Hi I have 2 bottles of out of date Coke will try some of these, might even try cleaning the grill pan, always a horroble job. I definately won't try Kilk's idea, but you'd never know she might be on to something.

Legs & Co - I remember them being on the Kenny Everett Show!!! Anyhoo, back to thread - I'm enjoying this. Will that face mask dissolve all wrinkles?
