Question

Some mineral water had bubbles (氣泡) in it . So people learnt to make bubble water to put CO2 into water to make the water bubbly. The called the bubbly water “soda water”.

Later, people put juice or some other things to make soda water taste good. Many drugstores (藥房) or ice cream shop sold soda water. Now people can buy soda pop in almost every food store. Some people call it “pop”, some say “soda” and other people call it “soda pop”.
