Why soda, and carbonated water is actually made with CO2?

Question

I’m wondering if we use this because if it’s cheap, or it has that iconic taste, or it’s easy to produce

Answer 1

Fermentation was the original carbonation. That’s why beer and champagne are carbonated. They don’t add carbonation to it. Sodas and other drinks use co2 because it dissolves easily and stays carbonated longer. Some companies have experimented with nitrogen but it seems to be more of a novelty since everyone is used to the feel of CO2.
