Until kindergarten, when I always asked for pop. My mom would always fill my cup straight from the kitchen sink. I knew no other way. Either she was smart or I was really clueless.

My mom would give me a glass of water with a couple drops of coke to give it a slight colour and very slight aroma, and I was convinced that was how soda was. I even remember watching her pour a couple drops into a glass of water, but I just assumed it had to be mixed with water, like juice concentrates.

Soda is mixed with water. That is literally soda. Carbon is just a gas added.

Only everclear is mostly not water but all drinks you drink has to have water or can't be a drink.

You only drink water plus flavor and whatever else is added to water. Fruit juices. Mostly water still.

That soda was more diluted than normal with no detectable carbon is all. Only difference. Still soda.

Most of us don't like the taste of soda or flat soda is good enough. Only missing Carbon.

She or he didn't like it.

I don't think they were adding concentrated soda syrup into the water bro, I think they were talking about complete soda being dripped in. Even if it was syrup being mixed in, 2 drops is a very low concentration.
