Ever wondered exactly what effect those sweet, sugary drinks might be having on your teeth?

We know fizzy drinks like Mountain Dew and Coca-Cola aren't great for the old gnashers, but the video above — a guest episode of Tom Scott's "Things you might not know" series from fellow science YouTuber Chase at ScienceC — shows the exact effect the drinks can have, in plenty of gory detail.

In the experiment, Chase places two of his sister's molars into bottles of Mountain Dew and Coca-Cola, leaves them side by side for three weeks, then removes the teeth to measure the results.

As you'd expect, it's pretty grim.
