'Acid' hardly narrows it down... Often the cops will say it's 'acid' when people throw rancid butter bottles, which obviously are designed to stink, not maim. They're trying to bullshit the public into believing that protestors are trying to give cops chemical burns. Meanwhile, the cops are using capsicum spray, tear gas and rubber bullets.
Citrus juice, vinegar and yoghurt all contain / are acid for example
I was actually thinking it looks a bit like tomato sauce. Tomato sauce has a vinegar base and is mildly acidic, right? It's also a red liquid...
Tomatos are plenty acidic on their own - if they were saucing people it woukd do it. Personally i woulda siracha'd (which has a heavy vinegar base btw) but i'm sadistic
