Coke is an acid.
No, both Coke and Pepsi are also acids. You need a base, like baking soda to neutralize an acid.
Baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) and Coke (carbonated water with phosphoric acid) react together because the acid in the Coke reacts with the base in the baking soda to produce carbon dioxide gas. This reaction creates fizzing and bubbling due to the release of carbon dioxide gas.

Baking soda, NaHCO3 is a more weak base, than being a (very) weak acid. pH about 8.0
Mixing coke and baking soda will create a chemical reaction that produces carbon dioxide gas, causing fizzing. This reaction is due to the acid in coke reacting with the alkaline baking soda. It is often used as a household cleaner or to unclog drains.
