Is there any solvent or combination thereof that will dissolve a "marshmallow" peep on contact?

While there may not be any substance which will instantaneously dissolve these delectable Easter treats, strong acids such as hydrochloric or sulfuric acid will do a nice job... although with sulfuric acid, the carbon contained within the peeps will form a foul, black solid.

Saliva works well, too.

Meep meep?

Well, it does! They don't pass through unharmed, do they?
