You are only overwriting the pointer to the string (a string is essentially a
pointer and a length). If you want to use memory and then zero it out, use a
byte slice instead and be careful to not call append where append might
allocate new memory. Take a look at https://play.golang.org/p/GkrKR

The same concept applies as before. String variables are unique
