Hi there,

Are you referring to using NaOH and HCl instead of the baking soda and vinegar?

While you are right that you would still be using an acid and a base, they are quite different in strength. NaOH and HCl are both highly corrosive, therefore they would not be best suited for this application.

Hope this helps.
