  Soda pop \So"da pop\, n.
     a popular non-alcoholic beverage, sweetened by various means,
     containing flavoring and supersaturated with carbon dioxide,
     so as to be effervescent when the container is opened; -- in
     different localities it is variously called also {soda},
     {pop}, {mineral water}, and {minerals}. It has many variants.


     The sweetening agent may be natural, such as cane sugar or
     corn syrup, or artificial, such as saccharin or aspartame.
     The flavoring varies widely, popular variants being fruit
     juices, fruit sirups, cream, or cola flavoring; the soda pop
     is usually served chilled.
  
     Note: Several large corporations started primarily as
           bottlers of soda pop, such as {Coca-Cola},
           {Pepsi-Cola}, and {Dr. Pepper}.
