Dissolving human bones and teeth after you have turned the rest of
their bodies into meat pies.

Interesting, but I somehow do not think I would have bought it dissolve
parts of bodies, I'm sure it would have been bought to use in the
garden,
but what for?



Phosphoric Acid is a constituent of Coca Cola and other similar drinks,
added to give it the 'bite'.
Yes, it does rot your teeth.


I wonder why you bothered to send an article which is so childish and
stupid.


I find your comment rather strange, since my reply was entirely serious
and factually correct.

Another possible garden use for phosphoric aid is to clean concrete paths,
but in a stronger concentration than Coke.
