Coca-Cola claimed to be a cure for many diseases back then, so I'm not surprised if some one tried to use it to get something like grease stains out.
Besides, Pepsi is a Cola too, so in theory, it should be able to get the same grease stains out, too
EDIT: Looking back at that link you gave me, I think there's a lot of things there that speak in favor of Coke, rather than against it. Just because it can clean the rust off your bike chain doesn't mean it'll kill you, it even says towards the bottom that there are stronger acids in your stomach than in Coke.
EDIT2: I agree with you saying it leaves a bad taste/residue in your mouth, but only if you drink it warm. My Coke has to be ice cold or I can't drink it. I have friends drink it warm and I don't get them at all. That's like drinking warm beer, like the English do.
