History, tradition and origin

Carbonated water was first made artificially in the 1700s and sold as a health tonic. Pharmacists in the United States added flavoured syrups in the 1800s, and cola, lemon-lime, orange and ginger sodas followed. Ginger ale in its dry style was developed in Canada. Bottled mineral water grew from the spa towns of Europe.

Food economy and industry

Soft drinks are one of the largest packaged-goods industries, built on syrup concentrate, local bottlers and distribution. Many countries now tax sugary drinks, and sugar-free versions are the fastest-growing part of the market. Bottled water outsells soda by volume in many countries, raising questions about plastic waste.
