Soda and Fizzy Drinks - A Global History

"More than eighty years before the invention of Coca-Cola, sweet carbonated drinks became popular around the world, provoking remarkably similar arguments that they do today. Are they medicinally, morally, culturally or nutritionally good or bad? They have been loved, and hated, for being cold or sweet or fizzy or stimulating. This book looks at how something made from water, sugar and soda became big business, but deeply important to people. Fizzy drinks' symbolic meanings are far more complex than the ingredients from which they are made."--Back cover.
