Carbonated Water
Carbonated water or Sparkling water contains dissolved carbon dioxide which is either artificially injected or naturally occurring. The curative properties of mineral water have been recognized for centuries, but it wasn’t until the mid-1700s that entrepreneurs began to build apparatus to artificially infuse water. Almost immediately Soda fountains began to appear in Drug Stores. Jackson’s Spa in Boston bottled the first sparkling water in 1767. In Napa Valley the sodas from Aetna, Calistoga, and Napa were the best known bottled sparkling waters and they were widely distributed throughout the Western U.S.
