This doesn't sound funny at all. Many years ago my science teacher had the
class conduct a similar experiment.
A rusty nail was placed into a glass jar containing Coca Cola. Within hours
the rust was gone, and within weeks the nail also vanished (and NO it was
not removed by Human Intervention). Makes you wonder what it does to your
gut.
I also heard a myth involving a Coke worker falling into a vat and he wasn't
seen again. Maybe a little way out but the nail story is true.
