carbonated soft drinks

Carbonated soft drinks are non-alcoholic beverages that contain carbon dioxide gas, which creates bubbles and gives them a fizzy texture. They are typically sweetened and flavored, with a variety of options ranging from cola to fruit flavors. The carbonation process involves adding pressurized carbon dioxide to the liquid, which releases the gas when opened, producing the characteristic fizz. Many soft drinks contain ingredients like sugar or artificial sweeteners, acids for flavor, and colorings. While popular worldwide, excessive consumption may lead to health concerns due to high sugar content and other additives.
