Well, if you have pool shock (available at most grocery stores as well as home and hardware stores where I live) you have pretty strong HCl.

The easiest way to get hydrochloric acid is from the pet store/aquarium store....petsmart, petco, etc.
Aquarium owners have to test their water with a Nitrate test kit. One of the chemicals used is Hydrochloric acid. It is cheap to buy. Make sure you get NitrATE...not Nitrite.
When you get the box the bottle labled #1 is the hydrochloric acid.

A hardware store or pharmacy sells hydrochloric acid under its common name of "muriatic acid". Common hardware usage is to clean concrete.

Why you search at house hold materials. It is inside your body itself, of course in small quantities in your intestine, diluted form in " gastric juice ".
