Carbonation Memes

The moment of sheer terror when your chemistry teacher drops the "soda is acid" bomb, followed by sweet relief when you realize it's just carbonic acid (H₂CO₃). That weak little molecule couldn't dissolve your insides if it tried! Carbonated drinks contain this mild acid formed when CO₂ dissolves in water—about as dangerous as a kitten wearing safety goggles. Your stomach produces hydrochloric acid that's thousands of times stronger. So next time someone tries to scare you about "drinking acid," just smile smugly and take another sip of your chemical cocktail.
