Before I list the 25 food, I must let you know that any acidic substance will taste sour while any basic substance will taste bitter. Sometime certain food do not taste sour or bitter is because people added addictive such as sugar etc.

1) vinegar, acidic – ethanoic acid

2) coca cola, acidic – contain citric acid

3) detergent – base

4) toothpaste – base

5) orange – acidic

6) lemon – acidic

7) soap – base

8) apple – acidic

9) lime – acidic

I can name a few…I’m pretty limited on food items though…

Oranges (acid)

Lemons (acid)

Limes (acid)

Eggs (acid)

Milk (acid)

Cheese (acid)

Vinegar (acid)

Baking soda (base)

Soft drinks (acid)

Hot peppers (acid)

Tomatoes and any food item that’s tomato based (acid)

Alcoholic beverages (beer/wine, etc.) (acid) – acid is produced by the fermentation process

Non food items would include…

Soap (base)

Ammonia (base)

Bleach (base)

Detergents (base)

The previous responder forgot to mention that coca-cola also contains carbonic and phosphoric acid…

That’s all I can think of so far…I hope this helps.
