GOOD HEALTH!

Abstract

In 1772 a British scientist published a method of producing carbonated water. He produced carbon dioxide by adding hydrochloric acid to marble, captured the gas, added it to water in a sealed barrel and shook the barrel violently to mix the contents together. The water drawn from the barrel bubbled and sparkled and was the start of the soft drinks we know today.
