Are there any catalysts to speed up metal corrosion with soft drinks?

I read somewhere that it takes months for the corrosion to occur. Does anyone know which metal would corrode the fastest? And, is there some way that I can make the reaction to visibly occur in say, one week?
Thank you!

Elevated temperature and pressure will accelerate corrosion… also pump in oxygen to really get it going.

You can also add a second metal that has a substantially different electronegativity and you’ll get galvanic corrosion.

Add a current to the galvanic cell, and you’ll further accelerate corrosion (on one pole only).

well in one week is a little too little but I am sure that if you grab a piece of thin Iron metal and put it into a saturated solution of NaCl (common table salt) it will corrode. Humidity helps too.
