what is a soda?

Soda is a carbonated soft drink that contains carbonated water, flavorings, and sweeteners. It is a popular beverage worldwide, and there are many different brands and flavors available.

The first drinkable, man-made carbonated water was created by English scientist Joseph Priestley in 1767. He discovered that water could be infused with carbon dioxide, creating a bubbly and refreshing beverage.  

This invention laid the foundation for the soda drinks we know and love today. However, it wasn’t until the creation of root beer in 1876 that soda began as flavored beverage we’re familiar with. Charles Hires, a Philadelphia pharmacist, introduced root beer as the available soda in the market, flavored with a blend of roots and herbs.
