Carbonated soft drinks are beverages that contain carbon dioxide gas, which creates bubbles and gives them a fizzy texture. These drinks are typically sweetened and flavored, with common ingredients including sugar or artificial sweeteners, acids, and natural or artificial flavors. Popular examples include cola, lemon-lime soda, and root beer. These beverages are often enjoyed for their refreshing taste and are widely available in cans and bottles. While they can be a source of enjoyment, excessive consumption may lead to health concerns such as obesity and dental issues due to high sugar content.
