Best Answer

Carbon dioxide (or CO2) is a key ingredient in most sodas (pops). It's what turns it from a "Kool-Aid" type drink to the bubbly beverage you are used to and where the term carbonated comes from. While I haven't heard of people adding more carbon dioxide to sodas, It could be added to "flat" sodas to bring back the bubbles. You'll also find it in beer, sparkling wine, Pop Rocks, fire extinguishers and more.
