So interesting that I cannot help but hold the breath in my nose so as not to smell what I imagine the stink to be of that gelatinous mess.

Now is that the same result you could expect from a dead mouse just being in liquid and not specifically Mtn. Dew? I imagine that'd be the case.

Pretty bad video composition with a horribly long intro, but the payoff was interesting.

Btw, @haki, you know you can vote for your own videos, right?

So what's in the tail that it doesn't dissolve?

Feckin gross by the way and I don't get grossed out easily.

rat soup anyone.

It would only be fair to have a control rat submerged in water for that time. The rat gut and skin are full of bacteria which would aid decompositon.

Any carbonated drink has carbonic acid from the dissolved CO2 as well as the citric acid in drinks such as mountain dew. Funny enough bones/enamel are more susceptible to breakdown (by demineralisation from acid) that some of the soft tissue which leaves just stringy collagen portion of the bone which is also what the tail is made of.

I'm sure we all had a neighbor like this growing up.
