Eli5 How do they carbonate drinks?

720 views

I assume carbonation is a gas? But wouldn’t it all immediately leave the drink when Injected? I know carbonation leaves over time but I would think it would be more immediate. I could google this but I enjoy conversation and giving someone the chance to show off their intelligence.

Just look for any soda maker for home use that does exactly that by forcing in carbon dioxide in a plastic bottle.

In an industrial plant, you do that in a larger pressure container and keep the pressure while you fill the container you sell it in. You the filling bottle part [in this video](https://youtu.be/yet4zA415B8?t=41).
