You got some kind of potion/brew/chili/what have you and you need to show that it is extremely strong; what to do? Well, the stirring spoon looks normal, until you take it out and discover that it has physically deformed, if not dissolved altogether, due to contact with the mysterious substance. Who's hungry? Compare Poison Is Corrosive and Hollywood Acid; see also some variants of Klatchian Coffee, Gargle Blaster and Blazing Inferno Hellfire Sauce. Do not confuse with a character eating the spoon, that's Extreme Omnivore (or Metal Muncher if the spoon is specifically made of metal). Examples |

In the Bottom episode "Terror", Eddie whips up a "home brew" that dissolves all the cups, forcing him and his friends to use metal containers to drink it with (It is also said to have taken the enamel off of the bathtub it was mixed in). | |

This happens a lot in Looney Tunes shorts (especially if it foreshadows a transformation sequence). One instance where it doesn't foreshadow a transformation sequence is in Fair-Haired Hare when Yosemite Sam puts poison in Bugs' glass of carrot juice. | |

In one episode of Camp Lazlo where Clam comes down with a condition that makes him fall in love with Gretchen, one of Lazlo and Raj's attempts at a remedy is a soup made with water from Raj's Kafizzle River snow globe. The water from the Kafizzle River is previously established to be highly acidic, so every time Lazlo spills a drop of the soup, it eats a hole in the ground. When Lazlo comments that it's like lava from the earth's core, Raj states that it's even more powerful than that. | |

Discworld: The recurring Gargle Blaster, Scumble, which is distilled from apples (well, mostly apples) is often mentioned with cautionary tales about its treatment of spoons. Sometimes the spoon gets a good cleaning but the spoon had better not be metal. In its first appearance, the bartender carelessly drops Mort's change in a puddle on the bar, and the coins instantly start dissolving. In Feet of Clay one of Vimes' many theories for how the Patrician was being poisoned was cutlery made of arsenic. It didn't take long for Cheery to point out that an arsenic spoon would dissolve in soup almost instantly. This is also a trait of anything a troll orders in a bar because their drinks are corrosive chemicals. Wow-wow sauce is similarly caustic, being made from Scumble and a number of pickled foods. On top of that, the finished product is explosive. The "Special sheep liniment" from The Wee Free Men is also quite strong. When Tiffany is asked by the toad how strong it is she replies with "It dissolves spoons." (No one in the books is quite sure about what would happen if it's ever given to sheep.) |

Action League NOW!: "Hey! Who Stole My Face?" begins with the Mayor concocting a salsa so hot that it burns the spoon. After tricking the Action League into thinking that he's the Chief (due to Bill the Lab Guy having accidentally switched their faces during an operation), he intends to lower them into the salsa, but his plan is foiled by the real Chief. At the end of the episode, when the Chief tries to get his original face back, the Flesh accidentally knocks it into the salsa, melting it. | |

Disney Ducks Comic Universe: In Don Rosa's Scrooge McDuck story The Black Knight, after gentleman thief Arpin Lusene attempts to steal all of Scrooge's money, he ends up stealing a jar of universal solvent (from another Don Rosa story of the same name, that eats everything except diamonds), not knowing what it is. He stirs it with a spoon while drinking his tea and notices what it is. He proceeds to take a suit of armor he stole from the money bin, add a layer of diamond dust to it, and then coat it with the solvent. | |

In one episode of Home Improvement, Tim is demonstrating his own custom brewed auto parts cleaner. He calls it, "a little energetic" as he places an entire cylinder into the chemical. A few moments later, he pulls out just the connecting rod. | |

In King's Quest VII, Rosella gathers ingredients for a potion to change her back to human form. One of the ingredients (used to stir the potion) is a silver spoon. After the potion's been mixed, the only thing left of it is a melted lump of silver. This being King's Quest, it still has a use later on. | |

In the 3-2-1 Penguins! theme song, Fidgel sips a blue liquid from a spoon and at first seems happy with the result, but then the spoon shrivels up and his expression changes to disgust. | |

The "Special sheep liniment" from The Wee Free Men is also quite strong. When Tiffany is asked by the toad how strong it is she replies with "It dissolves spoons." (No one in the books is quite sure about what would happen if it's ever given to sheep.) | |

In Asterix and Cleopatra, Artifis tries to frame the Gauls by (musically!) making a poisoned cake and sending it to the Queen in the Gauls' name. As he makes the "Special Iced Arsenic Cake" of a variety of toxic materials (And strangely, no eggs or flour, or indeed any non-toxic materials other than orange juice), the spoon he was stirring the mixture with dissolves. And that happened before he added the sulfuric acid. His expression as this happens makes it even funnier: He's first surprised, before grinning at the mixing bowl. | |

The Monkey Island series features grog. In Real Life, grog is watered down rum. In the games, grog is so offensively strong that it eats through not only the spoon but the mug as well. | |

The Stainless Steel Rat for President: Jim DiGriz orders a Gargle Blaster cocktail that's somehow more than 100% alcohol by volume. When he throws it aside in a dramatic gesture, it starts eating into the starship floor. | |

QI used this for a "magic trick", dissolving a spoon in a glass of water. The water was in fact just ordinary water: the spoons were made of gallium, a metal that melts at a rather low temperature (86F/30C). | |

Happens once in the Tom and Jerry cartoon "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Mouse". To put Jerry out of the way permanently, Tom pours a variety of toxic chemicals into his milk. He spins the brew with a spoon, but the poisonous chemicals cause the spoon to melt, with the melted part falling into the toxic milk. | |

S.S.D.D.: After finally being cajoled into doing something about the godawful state of the downstairs toilet, Norman digs out a bottle of some unidentified chemical that "smells like it could eat through lead". He's not wrong... Oh, and the stuff he used? Turns out it was Richard's girlfriend's godawful homemade wine. |
