Besides bottled water and juice boxes, children and adults alike love soft drinks. Depending on where you live, some of us call them “pop” while others call them “soda.” Maybe there are even a select few of us out there who call these beverages “soda pop.” But no matter what you call them, a soft drink is a beloved beverage for many of us.
A soft drink is a beverage that usually contains a mixture of carbonated water, a sweetener, and a natural or artificial flavoring along with a dose of caffeine. (Perfect for those of us who prefer a bit of pop or fizz in the morning instead of a classic cup of coffee).
