Post by: volvadi on December 12, 2012, 08:48:26 PM: Maybe a just little too far. It did seem like a good idea so I gave it a try with my No. 10. The yogurt must have eaten away at the wrench during the photo shoot because even though I had washed it thoroughly with hot soapy water beforehand, the first bite tasted exactly like wrench and nothing like yogurt. Didn't try for a second bite. Maybe you have stumbled upon a new rust removal system. I'll give it a try.... there's plenty of rusty stuff around here to test it on!
