"First of all, it's a lot more soluble in water than most gases so you can pack a lot in. For example, you can dissolve about 34.1 ml of oxygen in a liter of water, 16.9 ml of nitrogen, and an amazing 1019.0 ml of carbon dioxide! When dissolved, it forms carbonic acid, which is tart-tasting and thus adds some pleasant acidity to carbonated drinks in addition to acting as a preservative."

It doesn't. People buy drinks with Carbon Dioxide because they like the bubbles. Do you think champagne would be consumed as much if it wasn't bubbly? Carbon Dioxide has nothing to do with flavouring. However, you might be led to believe that because a newly-opened soda tastes better than an old soda. The trick is that as the bubbles emerge from the soda and evaporate, they tend to take some ingredients with them. Thus you are left with a watery flavoured-sugar-syrup drink with no pep.

Its just my opinion but I think the bubbles exhilarate and open up the taste buds which allows you to taste the flavor better.

Because it fizzes the gunk off your tongue allowing you to taste it better
