Soft Drinks
Posted by iVi | Filed under Food & Drink
Soft drinks are those drinks that are carbonated and sweetened and are also known as soda. The reason why these soft drinks became so popular was because the bubbling water was considered to be good for health since the benefits of mineral baths were known from the Roman times.
Scientists did some research and found ways to mix water with the carbon dioxide gas which led to the invention of carbonated water. After that the need for adding flavor to this water led to many flavored soft drinks and companies like Coca-Cola and Moxie came into being more for their remedial features.
Coca-Cola was developed as a cure for headaches and Moxie used the herb gentian instead of carbonated water. Later the champagne became the acclaimed soft drink of the world. Then Pepsi-Cola was introduced as a remedy for dyspepsia. Nowadays soft drinks are no more sold as health remedies.
