Egg and vinegar experiment

Can you Turn an ordinary egg into a bouncy ball?      This is how
You put a egg in a cup and put malt vinegar just over the egg then leave the egg for about 3or4 days.
Eggs contain calcium carbonat which makes their shall hard.
Vinegar is an acid called acetic acid. When the egg and the vinegar are put together a gas called                 
carbondioxide is released.
This is what bubbles are made of.  It takes about 3 or 4 days for the acid to eat away at the shell. 
If you are lucky it could bounce from a small height without breaking.
