Question
I was wondering if you could give me any information on soda and what it contains. I need this info for a project in school :D Thank You!!!!

Answer
Hi Manu,,

What does soda contain. Well that depends on the soda. A cola contains 95 purified water,
Carbonation in the form of dissolved CO2 gas, food coloring, (Carmel color), red dye (some times), a sweetener like corn syrup, sugar or aspartame/splenda (diet drinks), a preservative or two like phosphoric acid some minor flavor enhancers like "cola" flavor.

I hope this helps
