Why is there carbon dioxide in fizzy drinks?

Answer 1

It's possible to dissolve a lot of carbon dioxide in water under rather modest pressures. The carbon dioxide comes out of solution when the pressure is released creating a lot of fizz for very little effort.

Answer 2

It's what makes it bubbly! Without it, you would have flat soda, and it wouldn't taste very good. Technically, it isn't good for you either, because what do you exhale? Carbon dioxide. So, you're just putting that back in and is basically like eating your own waste. Disgusting, but true.

Answer 3

The short or easy answer is to maintain the effervescence ( Bounce, light carbonation) and as a by-product retain the flavor. There was once a soft drink called Cherry Bounce, they fizz up from the carbonation, but this assures a lively taste- as opposed to sodas going flat when left out uncapped in a fridge. Old Mountain Dew Hand here!

Answer 4

Carbon dioxide is added to fizzy drinks to create carbonation, which gives the drinks their characteristic bubbles and fizziness. The carbon dioxide dissolves in the liquid under pressure, and when the pressure is released, the gas is released as bubbles.

Answer 5

i think they put it in sodas is because they want it to have that harsh taste that makes it original

The scope is to obtain an acidified drink.

Answer 6

The gas bubbles provide the tingly sensation.

Answer 7

that's what gives soda the bubbles

Answer 8

too make it fizzy, I suppose.
