Mistake in this "project" is that it doesn't replicate the original, as I read it few years back. Evaporated Coke doesn't contain CO2 in the same degree (if any?), and it simply does not have the same (destruction) power. You would need to put fresh Coke regularly in the glass with tooth, to try to replicate claimed result (and it COULD be urban legend, after all), and waste your money.
