Because, fizzy drinks are produced by injecting carbon dioxide into the drink at a pressure of several atmospheres. Carbon dioxide dissolves readily at normal atmospheric pressure, particularly in cold beverages, but far more so at high pressure and large volumes of gas can be dissolved. When the pressure is released the carbon dioxide comes out of solution forming numerous bubbles and begins releasing the carbon dioxide back into the atmosphere. After many minutes most of the carbon dioxide has been released and the drink is said to be "flat". So this 'flat' means dull, lifeless as opposed to even and level. In actuallity, the drink has lost its fizz.

The fizz in the drinks are from carbon dioxide.
Carbon Dioxide
its all the fizz
CO2
Fizzy drinks are not fizzy in space as there is no oxygen to fizz the bubbles. The fizz in fizzy drinks is carbon dioxide coming out. In a vacuum the liquid would "boil" because of the water vapour coming out, and would probably freeze because of all the heat removed with it. Oxygen plays no role in this at all.
Carbon dioxide gas is used to put fizz into fizzy drinks. When pressure is released, the gas bubbles out, creating the sparkling effect in the drink.
Fizz in fizzy drinks is dissolved carbon dioxide (CO2) coming out of solution. That's all that is in fizz.
Fizzy drinks fizz because they contain carbon dioxide gas that is dissolved under pressure. When the pressure is released, the gas escapes in the form of bubbles, creating the fizzing sensation.
Carbon dioxide (CO2) creates fizz in fizzy drinks through a process called carbonation. When CO2 is dissolved in the liquid under pressure, it forms carbonic acid, which gives the drink its characteristic tangy taste. When the pressure is released upon opening the bottle or can, the dissolved CO2 escapes in the form of bubbles, creating the fizzy sensation. This effervescence is what makes fizzy drinks enjoyable and refreshing.
The carbonic acid decomposes, causing water and carbon dioxide - you see the carbon dioxide as bubbles.
The fizz in fizzy drinks, whether it be water or pop, is put into the drink by pumping CO2 or carbon dioxide. Companies force the CO2 into the bottle or can and seal it right away to ensure that the carbon dioxide stays in and creates a fizz.
