from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A glass of lemon- flavored soda

Fizzy drinks are carbonated soft drinks . In contrast to fruit juice drinks , fruit spritzers and lemonades , they are not only made from natural substances, but can also contain artificial or nature-identical flavorings and / or colorings . In Germany , according to the guidelines for soft drinks of the German food book , the sales description is "Brause", which is supplemented by information such as "with Waldmeister taste", "with Waldmeister aroma" or "Waldmeister Brause".

In some regions, especially in East Germany, the term “shower” is used as a synonym for the term lemonade . Real Fassbrause , which is tapped directly from the barrel, is rarely available today, but despite the name it is a lemonade.

The effervescent powder , which is available in sachets or in pressed cubes, is also referred to as effervescent , which first tastes sour and then sweet. There are mainly five main types available in stores: Cola (brown), raspberry (red), woodruff (green), lemon (yellow) and orange (orange). It consists of a mixture of soda and tartaric acid and aromatic substances and bubbles because the soda reacts with the acid.
