Sodas typically contain sugar flavorings coloring agents and carbon dioxide dissolved in water?

Soda is typically made by carbonating water and then adding various flavorings, colorings, and sweeteners. In addition to sugar, sodas often contain other sweeteners, such as high-fructose corn syrup. The most common coloring agents used in sodas are caramel, which gives soda its brown color, and food dyes, which are used to create a variety of colors. Carbon dioxide is added to soda to give it its characteristic fizzy taste.
