Exactly what i thought! HCl is a strong acid and bleach is most definately a base since vinegar (a dilute solution of acetic acid) can be used to neutralize bleach. Of course its not reccommended since bleach and vinegar solution will give of Chlorine gas, which is not to mention highly toxic. But either way, HCl cant be bleach because bleach is a basic solution and as emc7 said, hydrocloric acid is indeed an acid (im a moron for calling it hydrogen chloride, wasnt thinking lolll).
