| News Hound  |  Ars Technica // Bugs go dead with Coke Science.Ars returns with the week's top science news. Along with other science news, we also look at a rather unusual use for Coca-Cola. A skull and crossbones would be the last thing you would find on a can of Coca-Cola, but farmers in India are using it to replace poisons that do. Looking to save a few rupees, farmers in Andrah Pradesh and Chattisgarh states have taken to spraying cotton and chili fields with The Real Thing. While it's not clear that Coke works effectively as a pesticide, the farmers are seeing results from using it. There is no word as of yet about the efficacy of Canfield's Diet Chocolate Fudge soda. http://arstechnica.com/columns/scien...e-20041107.ars | |
