Skunk spray and quicksand are up there amongst the threats childhood cartoons made us believe would be a more common issue than they actually are. However, of course, these threats largely depend on where you live. Some of you might have suffered a skunk spray attack in the past. If so, the best-known home remedy is to bathe in tomato juice. Nothing about this prospect sounds particularly pleasant. So we’re here to tell you there could be a better alternative: Coca-cola.
Wash in the soda for a few minutes, and then rinse yourself clean with water and soap to remove the stickiness from the sugar. This is just as effective for pets if they’ve gotten on a skunk’s wrong side.
