Excerpt:
"Coca-Cola contains less citric acid than orange juice does, and the concentration of phosphoric acid in Coke is far too small (a mere 11 to 13 grams per gallon of syrup, or about 0.20 to 0.30 per cent of the total formula) to dissolve a steak, a tooth, or a nail overnight. (Much of the item will dissolve eventually, but after a day or two you'll still have most of the tooth, a whole nail, and one very soggy t-bone.)"
Thanks for the link, Bossel. While I can't personally vouch for the nail and the tooth experiments, I do know that back in the '60s some people I knew performed the meat experiment with coke. It was gone in 48 hours. Not sure if it was steak, though! I just remember it being beef. I guess that lends new meaning to the joke, "Where's the beef?" Anyway, it's good to know of the Snopes site, so thanks for that.
