You're right actually, I thought it was chlorine.

Nevermind, they're turbofucked.

Chlorine isn't an acid or base on its own. HCl is maybe what you're referring to?

On a side note, household ammonia is actually an equilibrium between water, ammonia, and ammonium hydroxide. Meaning it doesn't fully dissociate in water, which by definition does not make it a strong base.

Yup, you're right, I was wrong about what they were actually putting in their mouths. It is interesting to me that the most unstable molecules can come together to form some of the safest salts/compounds, but that's not what's happening here.
