is soda a amrican drink?

Answer 1

soda is the united kingdoms equivalent to diet coke, lemonade, cherryade and so on.
so its not really an American drink just an American name

Answer 2

It depends on if you are talking about soft drinks or cola, although cola falls into the soft drink category. It's just a highly distinctive and popular flavor

Coca Cola was invented by an American pharmacist in the 1800's

Soft drinks originated from the pleasures of sparkling mineral water and baths and the term mainly refers to any carbonated beverage drink. The idea was invented by European chemists, botanists, bioligists and physicists

In 1676 soft drinks were first widely enjoyed by Parisians due to the rights granted to a French beverage company at the time. They drank sparkling lemonade

Answer 3

The first marketed soft drinks (non-carbonated) appeared in the 17th century. They were made from water and lemon juice sweetened with honey. In 1676, the Compagnie de Limonadiers of Paris were granted a monopoly for the sale of lemonade soft drinks. Vendors would carry tanks of lemonade on their backs and dispensed cups of the soft drink to thirsty Parisians.

In 1767, the first drinkable man-made glass of carbonated water was created by Englishmen Doctor Joseph Priestley.
In 1810, the first United States patent was issued for the "means of mass manufacture of imitation mineral waters" to Simons and Rundell of Charleston, South Carolina. However, carbonated beverages did not achieve great popularity in America until 1832, when John Mathews invented his apparatus for the making carbonated water. John Mathews then mass-manufactured his apparatus for sale to soda fountain owners.

Answer 4

Well Americans like to take the credit for most things - ok, I'm joking!!! But in this case it's true - it was. I think the term "soda drink" was coined around 1798 and during the 19th Century, the patents started to appear for stuff like Coca-Cola, Root Beet and Dr. Pepper. Although the Irish apparently invented Ginger Beer in 1851. By the way, I have many American friends so don't take my opening remark seriously!!!

Answer 5

From an episode on the Food Channel they told how in the mid to late 1800's how the first soft drinks/soda pops were invented in the U.S.A. By the show info I would say yes. But now with the U.S. culture world wide it's not only an American drink anymore. At least I wouldn't say it is.

Answer 6

Soft drinks can trace their history back to the mineral water found in natural springs. Bathing in natural springs has long been considered a healthy thing to do, mineral water was said to have curative powers. Scientists soon discovered that gas carbonium or carbon dioxide was behind the bubbles in natural mineral water.

In 1767, the first drinkable, man made glass of carbonated water was created by Englishmen, Dr. Joseph Priestley. Three years later, the Swedish chemist, Torbern Bergman, invented a generating apparatus that made carbonated water from chalk by the use of sulfuric acid. Bergman's apparatus allowed imitation mineral water to be produced in large amounts.

In 1810, the first U.S. patent was issued for the "means of mass manufacture of imitation mineral waters" to Simons and Rundell, of Charleston, South Carolina. Carbonated beverages did not achieve great popularity in America until 1832, when John Mathews invented his apparatus for the making carbonated water. Mathews mass manufactured his apparatus for sale to others.
