The First Fizzy Drink Tasted Like Urine
The first carbonated drink, invented by Joseph Priestley, tasted like urine due to the use of a pig's bladder in the carbonation process. The taste was discovered when a friend of Priestley's described it as urine-like, leading to improvements in the carbonation technique. The invention of the soda stream by John Nuth also played a significant role in the popularity of fizzy drinks.
