You certainly can! Vinegar is a weak acid. You taste that quite distinctly! There is also a burning sensation to a strong acid.

Base, or alkaline, substances are quite often slimy feeling. I would avoid extremes of either type.

Alkalis typically feel slippery or soapy to the touch due to their ability to react with oils and fats on the skin to form soap.

However, direct contact with alkalis can be irritating or corrosive to the skin, so it is important to handle them with care and use appropriate protective equipment.

In which pH does toothpaste go to?

It would be obvious that a toothpaste with its soapy texture, it is a basic or alkaline substance.0-7 is regarded acidic, whilst 7-14 is basic, or alkaline. 7 is ofcourse neutral pH. Bases have a soapy feel, such as toothpaste, and acids have a sour, sharp, bitter taste, such as lemon juice (citric acid). So with that understanding i would say basic. Yet that's what i think, i only do chemistry.)
