CSD (carbonated soft drinks)

Carbonated soft drinks (CSDs) are beverages that contain carbon dioxide gas dissolved under pressure, creating bubbles and a fizzy sensation. They are typically sweetened with sugars or artificial sweeteners and flavored with various extracts and additives. Common examples include colas, lemon-lime sodas, and root beers. The carbonation process involves infusing the liquid with carbon dioxide, which releases a bubbly effervescence when opened. CSDs are enjoyed for their refreshing taste and effervescence, but they are often consumed in moderation due to their sugar content and associated health considerations.
