Added DiffLines:

'''Basic Trope''': A substance manages to dissolve or deform the utensil stirring it.
* '''Straight''': Wilma is a witch making a potion. When she takes out the spoon she's using to stir it with, she finds that part of it has dissolved.
* '''Exaggerated''': The entire spoon dissolves within seconds of Wilma putting it into the potion.
* '''Downplayed''': The spoon doesn't dissolve entirely, but does start bending or deforming slightly.
* '''Justified''':
** The substance is very hot and/or corrosive.
** The utensil used isn't able to withstand the substance it's being used to stir things with.
* '''Inverted''': The utensil somehow absorbs part of the substance it's in!
* '''Subverted''': The spoon starts going further down into the potion, but it's actually because it's just slipping.
* '''Double Subverted''': After Wilma takes the spoon out, it actually is starting to dissolve.
* '''Parodied''':
** The potion makes eating sounds when it dissolves the spoon.
** This trope is used for any substance that nobody wants to ingest, such as the school lunch.
* '''Zig-Zagged''': Some of Wilma's potions dissolve the spoon, but some of them don't.
* '''Averted''': No substances can dissolve utensils.
* '''Enforced''': A quick way to show how dangerous the potion is.
* '''Lampshaded''': "Did that substance just eat the spoon?"
* '''Invoked''': Wilma is trying to make a corrosive substance, and sticks a spoon in there to see if it'll work.
* '''Exploited''': Wilma realizes that if the substance is strong enough to dissolve a spoon, it can probably do worse to organic material. She decides to use it as a defense against her enemies.
* '''Defied''': Wilma notices the potion is too corrosive and adds more neutralizing ingredients.
* '''Discussed''': "Considering what that substance just did to the spoon, I don't think I wanna get anywhere near that."
* '''Conversed''': "I wonder why that substance just destroyed that spoon."
