Soft drink is one of my favorites when I was a kid.

Later, I avoid that because apart from making the pain period more painful, it usually contains so much sugar that does not so taste because it is disguised with soda.

Sparkling water and soda is the most common name I used to hear when someone offered fizzy drinks.

The bubbles they produce come from carbon dioxide gas but some additional additives make them not actually the same.

Source of Water

Bubbles on sparkling water come from spring or well while soda is made from plain water that can come from anywhere.

Carbonation Process

Bubbles on sparkling water come with natural processes and the minerals in it already exist from the original source.

Sparkling is made with a combination of high pressure on volcanic gasses at a low temperature that make carbon dioxide dissolved in water and then produced carbonic acid.

This just happens without human intervention.
