Removing rust on bolts

Will leaving rusty bolts in a bowl of coke (the soda) over night remove rust on them or is that one those false stories you hear now and then?

Coke has phosphoric acid in it. I just use a wire brush. Put the bolt in a vise and brush away.

Mythbusters proved it... only thing Coke does is rot your teeth and make you fat.
