Some comments:

Walt Disney, before he set out on his own, worked for another studio as a cartoonist. His speciality was "Oswald the Lucky Rabbit". Disney managed to catch and tame a mouse at work, named it Mortimer, and would feed it scraps concealed in his desk. When he started his own studio, his first idea was to name it's protagonist mouse character after his clandestine pet, but his wife convinced him to use the name "Mickey" instead. Incidentially, the early Mickey looked exactly like Oswald except for the ears.

Any acidic solution will dissolve pearls along with just about any other calcium based material, given enough time. Carbolic acid (cola) vs. dentin (teeth) gives a similar result.
