fizzy drinks

Fizzy drinks, also known as carbonated beverages, contain carbon dioxide gas dissolved into the liquid under pressure. When opened, the pressure releases, allowing the gas to escape as bubbles, creating the characteristic fizz. These drinks often have added sugars or sweeteners, flavorings, and sometimes acids like citric acid, which give them their tangy taste. The carbonation process can be naturally derived during fermentation or artificially added. While they provide sensory enjoyment and refreshment, excessive consumption of fizzy drinks has been linked to health concerns such as tooth decay and weight gain due to their high sugar content.
