Salt doesnt melt, it is absorbed, and as for melting on cold mornings.... name something that does melt on a cold morning.----Salt will cause water ice to soften and melt unless the temperature is very cold (much colder than you're ever likely to see this side of the arctic circle). the salt itself doesn't melt; it converts the ice around it to water and dissolves in that water, allowing it to spread out and melt more ice.

Instead, the acid from the soda may oxidize some of the metal atoms in the penny and the nail, causing them to become ions and soluble. The some of the metal will dissolve, causing the penny or nail to become pitted and tarnished. However, these objects will not melt.
