Loads of things but try this. An uncooked egg, cover it in malt vinegar, keep it topped up after a few days to a week I think the shell has dissolved and you just have the wobbly egg in a membrane left. Intriging!

To put a name to Scott S answer - anything in the house (including the house itself) will dissolve if it comes into contact with aqua regia. Aqua regia is the most corrosive substance known to exist - and will even quite happily dissolve bars of gold and platinum.

Just about anything will dissolve in the right liquid at the right temperature.
You yourself would dissolve if you bathed in sulphuric acid.

salt, dishwasher powder, sugar etc...
hot water and stirring helps it dissolve faster as there is more energy in the water molecules.

Nearly everything will disolve in H2S04 ... as seen on a tombstone (alegedly) 'here lies the bones of Tommy Jones, his mother loved him so, what Tommy thought was H2O was H2S04' ...
