I tried coco-cola on a very slow (not stopped up) bathtub drain and it worked well. [View all]

Once the water drained out I pulled out all the hair and crap I could get. Dumped in a 2-liter bottle room temp coke, let it sit and followed up with hot water. Your results may very.

There sure was a lot of foaming a fizzing going on. I may not drink that stuff again.

edit to add: that was a $1.99 fix.
