eli5: Why is co2 the gas used to pressurize drinks. Why can’t something like nitrogen or atmosphere air be used.

If you want to see what a soda taste like with nitrogen there is Pepsi Nitro.
If you pick it up you should know that you are supposed to pour the can into a glass. There are direction on the can but you basically just want to turn the can straight upside down over your glass and dump it the way you would NOT do with a regular soda or beer. It should have a decent foamy head so use a larger glass.
The Nitrogen makes it taste very creamy but it doesn’t hold much of a fizz. I tried it from the can without pouring and it was less creamy and still essentially flat.
I have also seen some cold brew canned coffee’s that used nitrogen and though I haven’t tried them I’m now curious to see if they also get the same creaminess.
