Lemon juice and vinegar are both near pH 2 I think, so the low end would be unpleasant but not dangerous. The problem would be the high end. Bleach is usually around pH 12.

Root797483yI didn’t know lemon juice and vinegar were so low pH (2 and 2.2). 🤔 I drink/eat those straight pretty regularly. (Acids are tasty, okay?)
I also have HCl (pH 0) pills because it amusingly prevents acid reflux, and my would-be father-in-law gets pretty bad acid. I take them sometimes, too.
Oh the other end there’s Sodium Hydroxide (lye) that has a pH of 14 and is fortunately (!) outside the given range. It apparently turns your hands/skin into soap. I have some in my kitchen for making bagels and pretzels :) -
kiki351873y@Root I personally dislike strong bases more than I dislike strong acids. Maybe it has something to do with acid literally being always present inside my (and any other people's) stomach or that bases react with water in the air, but bases radiate awful fumes when being left uncovered, and I can only use them in full chemical protection

Unrelated: the first time I made lemon juice, I didn't know how much lemon to put in. I mean if we're gonna fill like so much water there's gotta be like... 40% lemon right?
So I squeezed what is like 10-12 lemons into a glass to fill it about halfway. This in the middle of my mess where about 100 people dine. Then I happily mix water and drink the reagent, adding sugar with each taste since it didn't feel right, until I decided the mess does something funky with the lemons kept with the salad
game of dice becomes interesting when the number you score is the PH number of a liquid you have to drink afterwards
