According to Jain, Nihill, Sobkowski, and Agustin, in Commercial soft drinks: pH and in vitro dissolution of enamel (General Dentistry, March/April 2007 , Volume 55 , Issue 2 - http://www.agd.org/publications/articles/?ArtID=923) cola drinks fell into a pH range of approximately 2.4 - 3.3 (with most being below pH 3.0) whilst non-colas had a pH range of approximately 2.9 - 3.7 (all but one measured was over pH 3.0). Iced teas came in at around pH 2.9
Here are a selection of the pH values measured:
Coke 2.525
Diet Coke 3.289
Pepsi 2.530
Diet Pepsi 3.031
Cherry Coke 2.522
RC Cola 2.387
Mountain Dew 3.229
Diet Mountain Dew 3.365
Dr. Pepper 2.899
Diet Dr. Pepper 3.169
Squirt 2.898
7-Up 3.202
Diet 7-Up 3.706
Sprite 3.298
Mug Root Beer 4.038
Usually 3 or 4, but it changes depending on the type of carbonated drink, the brand, and its ingredients. For example Coca Cola has a pH of 3
Carbonated water is a more refreshing drink.
There is little difference. The contents of the stomach before the drink have a far greater effect. The reason for this belief is that people tend to drink carbonated drinks more rapidly than non-carbonated.
Carbonated mineral waters are acidic.
Carbonated beverages can be re-carbonated after going flat. Special equipment such as pumps and dispensers can be used to pump CO2 back into the bottle.
Usually 3 or 4, but it changes depending on the type of carbonated drink, the brand, and its ingredients. For example Coca Cola has a pH of 3
Depending on kind and brand between 2.5 and 4.5 when carbonated and juicy
Careful on your understanding of 'pH'. Hydrochlroic Acid has a pH of '1' That is it has thousands of times more hydrogen ions A carbonated soft drink has a pH of approximately '4 . That is because it has far less hydrogen ions. Ths alll comes down to the mathemtics. pH = 1 It inver is 10^(-pH) = 10^-1) = 0.1 hydrogen ions However pH = 4 it inverse is 10^(-4) = 0.0001 hydrogen ions. As you can see 0.1 < 0.0001 so it follows that pH = 1 is more hydrogen ions that pH = 4 . Hence HCl is far more acidic than a carbonated soft drink. NB REmember the lower the numerical pH value, the more acidic it is.

By heating of carbonated drinks the carbon dioxide is released and the drink become noncarbonated.
7-Up is a carbonated soft drink that is neither an acid nor a base. It is a neutral beverage with a pH close to 7, which is considered neutral on the pH scale.
The pH level of carbonated water is typically around 3-4, making it slightly acidic. This level can vary depending on the specific brand or type of carbonated water.
Carbonated water is a more refreshing drink.
