You don't have to ask WHY someone would vaporize a hot dog in acid, you only have to know that someone CHOSE to vaporize a hot dog in acid. That and they shot video so that we could all see what happens when you drop a hot dog in a hot liquid known as piranha solution. This is a combination of Sulfuric Acid and Hydrogen Peroxide. The result is something the video make calls a meat noodle, and then nothing. Meat noodle was actually Wilcox's nickname in college. Do NOT ask why. Simply enjoy a hot dog being vaporized in acid
