Science Facts: Basic Drinks

Highly acidic drinks like Coca-Cola (pH 2.8) often grab the spotlight when it comes to drink pH. It turns out that there's a reason for this-- there are no high-profile drinks with a shockingly high pH. After some research, which ended in digging through the controversy of whether goat's milk or water makes better soap, I've come to the conclusion that the most basic drink is pure water, at pH 7.

With this in mind, did you know that the pH of Coca-Cola, 2.8, is just above 2, the pH of stomach acid? Isn't that astoundingly spotlight-worthy?
