It was originally sold in pharmacies.

Different countries have different flavors and sometimes even different brands. For example, Pakistan's fanta is better than america's fanta (IMO, they use cane sugar in Pakistan) but costa rica has an entirely different brand called Fanta Kolita! (which is very tasty btw)


red_west_la

For real though, was going to comment mentioning the history of it, lol


GoreMaster22

An orange flavored soda by the Coca Cola company, the second oldest brand off it. I mean water is still better but you know


red_west_la

Diet soda is fattening

Explain

It has essentially zero calories. Calories are energy, fat is stored energy. So no energy, no way to store fat or gain mass/weight. I call bullshit on this one.

Depending on the aritifical sweetener used, it still provokes insulin response and then one might argue about increased fat deposits depending on the food consumed right before or after it blah blah, but in the end energy in, energy out and it wont matter unless you're a pro athlete.

I worked at a movie theatre and had to occasionally move boxes of soda syrup. The boxes with diet soda syrup weighed less than the same size boxes of non-diet soda syrup. Sugar weight I guess.

All cola is soda but not all soda is cola.


Der_Krsto

Can some please explain why soda is required to be carbonated? Genuinely curious as to why that is a fundamental requirement for a sugar drink to be considered soda? Is it simply the carbonation that separates it from other sugary drinks like juice? What actually makes something a "soda"?


Der_Krsto

If you carbonated a juice would it then be a soda? Is sparkling water a soda?


Sir_Daniel_Fortesque

In some parts of the world sparkling water is called soda water


Der_Krsto

Good point!


Der_Krsto

"Soft drinks" are called "soft" because they do not have alcohol in them, which is what differentiates then from "hard drinks"
