| | Soft drink |
 | | In the past, most Cola and other soft drinks were sweetened with ordinary sugar (sucrose), but to save on production costs (due to high sugar tariffs imposed on sugar imported into the United States), most companies have turned to the more economical corn syrup as a sweetener in the United States. |
 | | In German, soft drinks are known as Limo short for Limonade, the German word for lemonade, but in America lemonade is an uncarbonated beverage, generally not considered a soft drink. |
 | | In Scotland, soft drinks are commonly known as "ginger", presumably referring to an early "soft drink", ginger beer. |
