Thank you so much! I hate to waste this flat soda and I especially didn't know what to do with the root beer. Now I know!Lilihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13292553654219380455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4055690688282230469.post-16186691371325008052021-10-01T10:47:22.090-07:002021-10-01T10:47:22.090-07:00Hi Vanessa,

Google 'Cola Beans' (and 'Root Beer Baked Beans') to see lots of recipes come up (granted, many of these recipes (not all) do seem to start with commercially canned baked beans -- but I'm sure with a little improvising it would be easy enough to make a version using dried beans).

There are tons of recipes for it. Works on chicken too. I typically discard most of the liquid after it’s cooked, shred the meat and add bbq sauce. It’s super simple and delicious!VanessaKChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15081075970881723748noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4055690688282230469.post-72170292124319925172021-09-25T10:01:50.012-07:002021-09-25T10:01:50.012-07:00Hi Kris,

I like the idea of using cola with ginger, soy sauce, and garlic as a sauce/marinade. I think that would go well with chicken. And I love your idea for making a slushie. Coke Slurpies were always my favorite as a teen.<br /><br />We're not big soda pop drinkers, here, either. Most of the time, all of us would rather have water, coffee, tea, or juice. I do have a Kool-Aid loving daughter, though.<br /><br />Thanks for your comments, Kris.Lilihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13292553654219380455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4055690688282230469.post-57253667956144412452021-09-24T17:30:58.220-07:002021-09-24T17:30:58.220-07:00I have added lighter-colored soda pop to cake mixe...I have added lighter-colored soda pop to cake mixes before when camping for an easy cake but wasn't sure about cola. I also wasn't sure if the carbonation was important so I Googled baking with flat soda and came up with this: https://andreadekker.com/8-creative-uses-for-flat-soda/ Some really interesting ideas here! With the ice cube idea, I wonder if you could take it a step further and put the cola ice cubes in a blender and make a slushie? If that worked, that would make a fun treat. BTW, I'm glad I'm not the only one who struggles to use up those 2 liter soda pops (and I have teens! We just aren't big consumers of that kind of thing).

Great suggestion to try mixing a small amount with baking soda to see if it's still acid enough.

I've seen recipes for using it with roasts, too. I think it would be good over a pork roast. But I don't have any roasts right now. And I've heard of it in cake. Maybe a spice cake in place of some of the sugar?<br />Thanks for your suggestions, Alice.Lilihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13292553654219380455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4055690688282230469.post-76452437111468200272021-09-24T04:43:25.925-07:002021-09-24T04:43:25.925-07:00I have never used it this way, but cola is an ingr...I have never used it this way, but cola is an ingredient in many marinades. Also, the internet is full of cleaning tips using soda. However, I don't know if it works as well when it's flat. The acidity of the soda is one of the main cleaning agents and that may decrease with decrease in carbonation. I would pour a little on some baking soda to find out.<br /><br />Live and Learnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13493777474885053903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4055690688282230469.post-49453879794060493372021-09-24T04:38:01.405-07:002021-09-24T04:38:01.405-07:00I haven't purchase pop/cola in over 10 years s...I haven't purchase pop/cola in over 10 years so I am not helpful with suggestions. If we ever host a party (when we could) I would offer ice water or coffee and tell them to bring their own beverage. I vaguely remember some recipes using it over a beef roast and I also think it is used in a cake.
