soda

Soda is a carbonated beverage typically made from water, sweeteners, and flavorings. During production, carbon dioxide gas is dissolved into the liquid under pressure, creating the bubbles and fizz characteristic of soda. Common varieties include cola, lemon-lime, and root beer. Many sodas contain added caffeine and preservatives, with sweeteners ranging from sugar to artificial alternatives. It's often enjoyed for its refreshing taste and effervescence, but should be consumed in moderation due to its high sugar content and potential health impacts.
