Is sherbet the same as soda?

No, sherbet and soda are not the same.

Sherbet is a frozen dessert that is typically made with fruit juice, sugar, and milk or cream. It has a smooth, creamy texture and a slightly tart flavor.

Soda is a carbonated beverage that is typically made with water, sugar, and flavorings. It is a fizzy drink that can be enjoyed both chilled and at room temperature.

While both sherbet and soda can be refreshing drinks, they are distinct in their ingredients, texture, and overall flavor profile.
