Why does old soda smell like oranges?

Why not pears, apples and watermelons?

Because carbonated sodas make the taste sour, sweet fruity sodas taste a little strange. At that time, the supply of sugar was not as abundant as it is now, and the cost of adding more sugar to suppress sour taste would increase.

Oranges themselves are sweet and sour, so it won't be surprising to add carbonic acid. It happened that the aromatic substances of oranges were extracted well, which could be obtained from orange peel, which matched the technical level of light industry of human beings at that time.

Therefore, most old sodas are orange-flavored, but it is no coincidence that The Times chose orange-flavored sodas.

At one time, every city had its own signature soda.
