Another point that is often put across, that the pH level of a soft drink, is the same as the pH level of a toilet cleaner. You’d recall learning in school that the pH level is used to measure acidity. How acidic a substance is. The pH level of soft drinks is normally around 2.5 but do you know the acidity of lemon juice? Its pH level is around 2.0 to 2.6. Pomegranates have a pH level of around 2.9. Grapes are around the same level.
