Power feeds in fine gradually.
Boot it and you get lots of increasing revs with little or no increase in speed.
Coca Cola keeps you going, that or replacing the clutch, when it has gone that far there is not much else to do, of course you could avoid stopping and that way also clutch slipping, but how realistic is that in your traffic?

Coca Cola works, but is quite messy, don't really recommend that, but if no other choice that is better than nothing.

Remember that hotter the clutch, easier it will slip = more hotter will clutch be. If clutch gets enough worn out it will destroy surface of flywheel so you need to get it fixed in machine shop which will cost even more, so there is such risk too.
