[SBE] Why engineers drink Cola

[A9xw at cs.com]

Ever need a little glue for some small part, dial plates, and such that have 
no real stress but no glue on site?   Cola to the rescue. Actually any high 
fructose drink. Add a small drop of  Pepsi, RC or Coke and then hold the pieces 
together for a short while to squish the fluid around. The water evaporates 
leaving a sticky goo (The Pepsi Syndrome) and it has enough holding power to 
last for years or until you can get a real glue product from a local store. Diet 
brands do not work, only The Real Thing. Did it on a Key fob and its been fine 
for 5 years. :-)  Cola is also a nice rust remover, works in minutes. The 
high acid pH eats oxides for lunch.
