Acetic acid is vinegar. Not something I'd like to taste in any soft drink.

  I don't like vinegar much either, but vinegar in drinks does have a certain tradition e.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Posca https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Posca

    Or more recently Switchel, which was popular in 19th century America. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Switchel https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Switchel I think the ready availability or citrus fruits caused their decline.

  I'm hoping Irn-Bru will come out with Fish-n-Chips Soda with a strong vinegar finish! In the mean time, does anyone know the formula for traditional Irn-Bru? How do you get the girders to dissolve into the syrup?
