Unless I have my capacitors crossed, some dishwashing
agents are
chlorine-based, and H20 <=> OH- + H+; mix a free Cl- ion in and you have
hydrochloric acid.
Well, I think they make it safe enough not to turn to hydrochloric acid (I
hope). Considering that people do put plastic dishes in the dishwasher,
and most have plastic drains and pumps. If we had dishwashing soap turning
to HCl all the time, a lot of people would have a big mess on their hands
(and soap companies would probably have a lot of lawsuits).

Your
esophagus, on the other hand, might object to your drinking HCl (depends
on how dilute, I guess).
Last time I vomitted, some of that stomach acid came up exactly the same
path as it would have to go down if I drank it.
No, it wasn't pleasant, but it didn't kill me. And for the same reason,
drinking similarly dilute HCl would be unlikely to kill me as well.

if I had to, knowing full well I'd live to tell you about it!
Once it gets to your stomach you'd be fine. Going down your throat is a
whole different sensation all together.

Indeed, what are Coke and Pepsi but solutions of phosphoric acid with a
little flavouring :)
It is their acidity which makes them so refreshing (and dissolves 'copper'
coins with such impressive rapidity)
Sorry for the drift off topic
