Soda is a cold, fizzy drink that bubbles and tingles when you drink it. It’s made by adding carbon dioxide gas to water, which creates the sparkling effect and makes a hissing sound when you open the can or bottle.

It’s usually sweet, often slightly acidic, and can sometimes contain caffeine. Soda is commonly sold in cans or plastic bottles and is often served over ice. When you pour it into a glass, you can see tiny bubbles rising quickly to the top and popping at the surface.

People often drink soda at parties, restaurants, or with meals because of its refreshing, bubbly texture.
