it's fucking gay and dumb call carbonated drinks soda, unless they are salty tasting mineral waters.

also it's kind of dumb call natrium (Na) "sodium".




"Sodium" is basically salt, (NaCl = natrium chloride))

you get bubbles if you mix baking soda and water, but the bubbles are not "soda" or sodium, but carbon dioxide (CO2).

for instance the Coca Cola fountains mix the flavor syrup, water and carbon dioxide, they don't use "soda" baking or any other soda in the process
