      One of the first such drinks I am aware of was invented by quack physician-dentist "Doctor" Samuel Birley Rowbotham, the flat earth promoter. It was called something like "Dr. Birley's Mixture" (or something like that). I actually found ads for it in digital archives of 19th century newspapers (or maybe they were medical journals, I don't remember lol). Details on its flavor are scant, but IIRC it may have resembled Dr. Pepper. No, I am not confabulating. I swear. Google it. It was one of the first "phosphate sodas", which were a popular item at period druggists. Phosphoric acid is still a common ingredient in colas today. I haven't watched the video yet, so there's a chance you covered this, but I'm leaving this comment anyway. This historical nexus should be remembered!

    Apparently I'm not normal. I specifically avoid most carbonated drinks because I don't like the feel of it in my mouth. The only pop I do like to drink is A&W's root beer, and I learned recently one of the ingredients in it is a natural detergent, causing it to fizz way more and making it neccessary to carbonate it less. It still gets 2-4 inches of foam in every cup.

      This is not an insult: you could potentially be autistic.

      While growing up, my grandmother used to make Sassafras tea and we visited the local A&W drive-in. Miss those days. Don't remember just when, maybe 20 or 25 years ago, sassafras was banned by the Food and Drug Administration because it contains safrole, a compound with potentially toxic effects. Many root beer bottlers had to reformulate with a replacement for the sassafras and the taste changed. Some manufactures may have added processes to remove the safrole.

    • @TylerDollarhide

      @@freelance1213 I recently found out that the reason they were testing safrole in the first place was because it was used medicinally for a long time. In testing for how safe it was as a concentrated medicine, they found that mice had a higher chance of contracting liver cancer. But of course to get anywhere near that much safrole from drinking rootbeer, you'd be having other problems.
      TLDR: They weren't testing for how safe safrole was in rootbeer by using absurd concentrations, they were testing how safe concentrated safrole was as a drug.
      Americana brand rootbeer still uses sassafras, and it is by far my favorite brand. Unfortunately it can only be found at specialty soda shops.

    The over-consumption of sugar-sweetened soft drinks is associated with obesity, hypertension, type 2 diabetes, dental caries, and low nutrient levels. A few experimental studies reported the role sugar-sweetened soft drinks potentially contribute to these ailments, though other studies show conflicting information. According to a 2013 systematic review of systematic reviews, 83.3% of the systematic reviews without reported conflict of interest concluded that sugar-sweetened soft drinks consumption could be a potential risk factor for weight gain.

    I have watched a coulpe vids on soda and both missed one age of the opening on the can, the dreaded finger trap. It would have been in the early 1970s that someone came up with putting 2 raised bumps on the can top, surrounded by a weak rim, you would push the small bump down into the can to release the pressure then push the larger bump down to leave an opening for drinking. The second olpening was the diameter of a kids finger and fairly sharp edged.

    Metal or Aluminum soda cans do not have any metal tasting affect on the drink, as the aluminum does not contact the liquid due to the lining of the inside of the can. You can dissolve a full unopened aluminum can by putting it is something like a sodium hydroxide solution and you will be left with a thin plastic bladder of sorts with the drink contained inside of it. The plastic liner is clear so the drink or soda is visible. I don't know how sturdy it is but it is enough to keep your drink safe from dissolved aluminum taste. I imagine the flavor of your drink would be revolting otherwise.

    15:05 That's actually a common misconception. the tingling sensation is not from collapsing bubbles, it is the carbon dioxide being converted to carbonic acid directly on our tongues.
    You can see for yourself that this is true if you pull the air directly above a freshly opened fizzy drink into your mouth. Even though no bubbles are present, since you are only sucking in gas, and no liquid, you still get a small amount of that tingling sensation (smaller because you also get a lot of air mixed in, decreasing the overall concentration of CO2)
    Edit: ah, I see you mentioned it right after haha. weird that you decided to keep the part about the bubbles right before however, given that it is completely wrong.

    Im gonna make an educated guess. No tapping a can doesnt directly reduce fizz, but you may get that impression because nor does shaking a can make it fizz excessively when opened.
    You can shake it all you want the can remains pressurised, the CO2 remains firmly locked away.
    Im fairly certain you can still get a burst of fizz if the liquid is still agitated when you release the pressure due to massively increasing the potential for nucleation in the turbulent fluid, and this is probably why people get drinks fizzing up all over the place, but as long as you let the liquid settle, say, while going through a can tapping ritual, there is no reason I can think of that youd see much mess.
