Carbonated drinks are extremely well-liked all over the world, and in various drinks, the carbonation is used to offer “bite” to the taste. Interestingly though the fizzy sensation of the drinks is rarely caused by the bubbles, in fact by the existence of dilute carbonic acid created during carbonation. This acid produces a slight tingling sensation on the tongue.
