It’s hard to believe, but Coca-Cola is often used to prepare the road before filming a car chase.
When drying, the Coke becomes sticky and gives good grip to the road.
It sounds like a joke, but it’s genuine.
This is especially useful when the road is old or made of smooth stones.
A concrete example: on the set of the latest James Bond film, No Time To Die , the roads of the city of Matera, Italy, were prepared with Coca-Cola.
They were made of slippery paving stones.
The production spilled 32,000 liters of Coke on the road.
Cost of the operation, approximately 60,000 euros.
The film’s stunt director Lee Morrison confirmed the news:
“I’ve been spraying Coke on slippery floors for a long, long time. Not only does it act like liquid tape, but when we clean the streets after filming, it leaves the floor cleaner than we found it!”
