so what is the difference between soda and pop??
Depending on the region of country you are from, we do have different names. Soda and pop are one of them. Ask a linguist for a list of items or names which are called by different names.
Cool!! We brew ginger ale/beer. Just trace amount of alcohol!! with home brew, we know exactly what goes in (grated ginger, cane sugar, yeast). My only problem is that much of the fizziness dissipates when I open up the bottle. Still has the fizziness. Haven't had any commercial stuff in years!
