And, just to continue the pasta theme - lol. This reminded me of that chef critiquing stupid food that you post:

Using cola instead of water makes the pasta better
It's more expensive because I have to use about 2 pints of cola just to cook some pasta (and I pour the cola away after the pasta is cooked, I don't drink it, I'm not gross) so I often do it the old-fashioned way and use water instead. But I use cola when I feel like I deserve a posh meal. As well as being tasty, the pasta gains a better texture and it doesn't change the colour of the pasta.
I served some spaghetti to friends that I'd cooked in Pepsi and they said rude things to me. But before I had let them know how I made it special, they thought it was nice and were asking me what kind of spaghetti it is, if it's from Italy, if it's some expensive organic spaghetti and stuff.
EDIT TO ADD--
For the people who think this not possible or made up, Someone in the comments says Tex Mex cook food with Coca-cola, and someone says people cook meat in cola in China too. And yes it does get sludgy if all the cola boils away, but it boils at the same rate that water would, so the pasta's cooked before then anyway (and I've learned from experience to put loads of cola in the pan so it doesn't all boil away.)
