In the USA, we have flavored carbonated drinks which we call soda pop. It’s the carbonation process that puts “fizz” in soda pop. There is a lot of info about carbonation at http://tutorials.carbonatedseltzerwater.com.

It is the amount of dissolved CO2 which causes carbonic acid in drinks, and this directly affects the quality and different tastes of various carbonated drinks, including soda pops and soft drinks.

In many soft drinks, carbonation is used to give these drinks their distinctive taste. That fizzy taste is caused by diluted carbonic acid and not caused by the bubbles, as many believe.

if you brew beer at home, watch out for over-carbonation — it can be dangerous, and result in bottles gushing or even exploding.Using excessive amounts of sugar as a primer is dangerous, as well as using wrong types of bottles or improper capping processes. Play it safe — buy your beer at the store.

Carbonated water is plain water into which CO2 gas has been dissolved; also known as sparkling water, it is the main ingredient of most “soft drinks”.

In the past, these drinks were home-made by putting water in a seltzer bottle and adding CO2. Club soda, often identical to plain carbonated water, could possibly contain a small amount of salt or trace minerals. These ingredients cause the salty taste of home-made soda pop. If you add some drops of concentrated flavors, what results? Good old soda pop.

If it has enough mineral content, the drink is classified as sparkling water. A nice assortment of calorie-free flavors to flavor sparkling water with great tastes is sold at allfreightfree.com. Instead of drinking too many soda pops, this might offer a nice alternative for your family.

Carbonated drinks in the form of diet soda pop can be a calorie-free way to make sure your family drinks plenty of water; we all know that the better the drinks taste, the more your kids drink, and the more they drink, the healthier for your family.

Members of your family playing sports will find this flavored drink helps make sure they stay properly hydrated while exercising. This has been an extremely hot summer; in spite of the heat, two-a-day football practices are already underway for most college and high school players. Football moms will want to provide the team with a variety of flavored carbonated drinks, making sure that everyone drinks appropriate amounts and stays well-hydrated.The kids will love you; and, who knows, the coach might even love you. This might be a good project for the football booster club to take on.

The extreme temperatures made it a dangerous summer even for Texans, who are used to hot summers; and has made drinking water more important than ever. However, we are not accustomed to 100-degrees-plus temperatures day after humid day; infants and the elderly are especially vulnerable.

Flavored carbonated drinks, it seems evident, are a good option for you and your family, and perhaps for your elderly neighbor, too. We must see ourselves as our brothers’ keepers.
