If it weren't for consumption of fossil fuels to produce CO2 where would drink makers get carbon dioxide needed to give soda pop its fizz?

Isn't it more important to have fizz in your pop than worry about global warming?

    Yeast acts on sugars to produce fizz (and alcohol). That's why beer is fizzy.

    So we burp out carbon dioxide from the beer which provides soda pop makers the CO2 they need to make their beverages fizzy.

  • A simple acid-base neutralization  combining acetic acid and sodium bicarbonate. The resulting oxidation-reduction reaction creating  carbon dioxide and a sodium acetate/water solution. This post was edited by Benedict Arnold at November 30, 2017 12:01 PM MST
