Coke and Toothpaste revisited.

After a little over a week I have checked on the metals that were submerged in coke, toothpaste, and a mixture of them. I had them removed from the liquid and resting in a plastic container where they would ideally dry and corode in the air.

Here are the results.

Boiled in coke and then mixed with toothpaste.

This experiment displayed little results, there was a wee bit of slime on the underside of the spring and some discolouration of the strange piece on the left, nothing I would call corosion.

Boiled in coke and then removed and left to dry.

 As the coke has dried some of the residue was left behind, the underside of much of the metal was coated in a dark brown slime that had accumulated. On the hook like shape there was some corrosive effects.

Mixed into toothpaste and then diluted with water.

This concoction was interesting as the toothpaste residue is clearly left over. There was a fair bit of corrosion throughout most pieces, especially the small staples and the large screw. The large screw had some green stuff start to grow on it, this would be as a result of the sugar in the toothpaste.
Mostly I just found new ways to dry toothpaste.


I am not too fond of exploring chemical properties, so for now I will leave it at that.
