My mother used to say her father used coke to get rust off a bike chain. I think there’s some merit to that; not sure how much. It’s super acidic of course.
If we're talking about the sex ed failure method of contraception, I'm blaming Lysol. In the 1930s, Lysol suggested (not quite explicitly) that vaginal douching with their product was a contraceptive, & people probably tried coke as an alternative because it's acidic & ubiquitous everywhere.
I think it might have stemmed from the practice of some asian households using Coke™ to clean up pig's large intestines. From what I heard, it's more effective with just tap water (mind you, it's household)
Large intestines made into soup, cooked with suan cai, garlic, pepper, and tomato
