Tenderize Meat

You probably didn't think there would be a connection between soda and the cut of meat you were planning to throw into the frying pan later tonight. But according to rumors on the internet, Coke can be used to tenderize meat. As you'll hear throughout this listicle, Coke's soda recipe is acidic. So much so that some claim that it can dissolve meat altogether. But don’t worry; Coca-Cola won't completely dissolve your main dinner component.

The acidity helps make it soft before it's cooked. Just leave your meat soaking in Coke for a few hours to soak up the sweet flavor and grow nice and tender. Then, add a splash of ketchup to the marinade for a deeper taste. All that's left to do is enjoy your tasty dinner!
