Description
A soft drink, also known as soda, pop, seltzer, soda pop, tonic, fizzy drink, and several other terms, is a beverage that typically contains water (often, but not always, carbonated water), usually a sweetener and usually a flavoring agent. They're called "soft" to contrast them with "hard" alcoholic beverages.
Types and brands of sodas
- Citrus soda - Despite the name, this type of soda refers to only lemon-lime sodas.
- 7 Up
- Mountain Dew – Citrus flavored soda, with many variants.
- Sprite (soda) – Lemon-lime flavored soda.
- Cola
- Dr Pepper – Actually a brand of soda with a uniquely-blended flavor. There's no specific generic term for this kind of soda, which isn't a cola, so any other similar tasting sodas are called "pepper"-flavored sodas.
- Ginger Ale
- Grape soda
- Orange soda
- Root beer
- Lemonade – Technically a soft drink, but not tagged as such here. Usually carbonated in some countries.
