Nope, Coca-Cola is very bad for your guts !!  My father used to work for a
shipping company that specialised in shipping stuff to/from the Australia /
New Zealand part of the world.  One of the their clients was Coca Cola, and
they used to ship some of the ingredients  (I can't remember which way.  It
may have even been to one of the stop-off places en-route).  One of the
major ingredients , they had to ship it classified as a Hazardous Chemical.
If not contained properly it would corrode through the huge metal shipping
containers within the time of the journey !!

Now, I wonder why I don't drink the stuff !!  (Actually I believe it does
more harm to the teeth than to the stomach due to the fairly robust and
harsh nature of the stomach).

Anyway, just a scary thought ...

Coca cola is also very good - not applicable here, as I use that for lead
acid battery terminals.
I wonder what it does to my guts. It must be OK or they wouldn't sell
it.........

Vinegar makes much more sense to me than baking soda. After all, they're
usually alkaline batteries.

I suggest you forget the baking soda/water
conconction mentioned here recently.  Plain old white vinegar will do the
trick, fizzing with great exuberance as it dissolves the offending stuff,
and it does an especially good job when aided by the brisk use of a
brass-bristled brush.  Watch out for the steel-bristled ones, though,
because they can do too much of a good thing sometimes.
