The Science behind it

CH3COOH + NaHCO3 = H2O + C2O
​The baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) is a base while the vinegar (acetic acid) is an acid. ​When they react together they form carbonic acid which is very unstable, it instantly breaks apart into water and carbon dioxide, which creates all the fizzing as it escapes the solution.
