Why does soda taste bad after 1 day, even when closed tightly and refrigerated?

Even if it still makes the fizzy sound when you open it, even if there’s still visible bubbles, it always tastes flat after a day.

Why?

Carbon dioxide dissolved in water yields a little carbonic acid. Soda is formulated so that carbonic acid enhances the flavour. When the carbon dioxide condenses and leaves the water, the carbonic acid dissolves and the soda’s PH returns to neurtal, ruining its taste.
