A soft drink (also referred to as soda, soda pop, pop, tonic, coke, or fizzy drink) is a non-alcoholic beverage typically containing water — often carbonated water — and a flavoring agent. Many of these beverages are sweetened by the addition of sugar or high-fructose corn syrup, or — in the case of "diet" drinks — with a sugar substitute. They may also contain ingredients such as caffeine and fruit juice.
