How can stomach acid be strong enough to dissolve thin razor blades, but stuff like corn and tomato skin can pass through seemingly completely untouched?
In: Biology
Time.
If you were to leave a razorblade in stomach acid (or similar acidic substance) for only the amount of time that something sits in your stomach, it would have damage but would be substantially there.
Likewise, if you left corn or tomato skin in an acidic bath for the same amount of time it takes to dissolve a razor blade, they would be long gone.
