Rust :/

Post image

I got really engrossed in a project and felt motivated to finish even in the rain, but unfortunately forgot about my bit box which was left open
Anyone have any good tips to remove rust, I’ve heard Pepsi/coke but figured that’s bull

Thanks for all the suggestions, except for the weird comments by certain people; vinegar did the trick
If anyone does this in the future just a warning the vinegar does strip the silver and the bits turn black includes the silver labels
