Soda has a much longer history than I was expecting. I never would have guessed that the fascination with fizzy-water began in natural hot springs and was more of a relaxing agent for the skin than it was for drinking. But hey, look at us now!

The life of soda is filled with fun science experiments, a man’s search for relief, and apparently some potentially dark (and I mean really dark) associations. Regardless, Soda is a staple in pop culture and while we should probably focus on healthier options, I find it hard to turn down a Sprite on a hot day. It’s just so refreshing!
