Answer is: vinegar and antacids.

Neutralizationis is reaction in which an acid (in this example vinegar or acetic acid CH₃COOH)  and a base (in this example antacid, aluminium hydroxide, magnesium hydroxide or some other base) react quantitatively with each other.

Balanced chemical reaction of vinegar and antacid:

2CH₃COOH(aq) + Mg(OH)₂(aq) → (CH₃COO)₂Mg(s) + 2H₂O(l).

Magnesium acetate ((CH₃COO)₂Mg) is a salt.
