Try it at home experiment:
Next time you eat chicken, or ribs, or anything with bones, save one. Clean it off well, then put it in a glass of vinegar for a day or two. In no time at all, the bone has become like rubber. This also works with eggs. Nothing feels quite so much like a disembodied eye as a raw egg that has had this done to it.
Fact: Acetic acid (HC2H302), which is the active ingredient in vinegar, dissolves or "eats" calcium. The stuff that makes bones and eggs and a few other things hard and strong.
