In your opinion if soda was called carbonated water instead of soda how much effect would that have?

Question

On soda's overall sales if any at all?

Answer 1

If the name was changed now, i dont think it would have much of an effect, especially once people knew that it was actually soda.

Answer 2

They can't call soda carbonated water becasue carbonated water is carbonated water. This is the same as saying "in your opinion if kool aid was called water instead of kool aid how much effect would that have?"

Soda is carbonated water with flavors and sweeteners added at least. Colors and caffeine and other things can be added to carbonated water to make soda. The same thing is true with kool aid. You take water and add flavor and sweetener.

I don't know about how it would affect sales but I do know it would lead to many lawsuits as it would be a lie.

Answer 3

None. People can't survive without their ration of soda. I know this is true, because I get dehydrated all the time. It's my own fault because I drink soda instead of the water I need. And I am not the only stupid person, in the soda drinking community.

Answer 4

I think it would until people tried it.  I think they would have had a hard time introducing it in anyway in the first place just because people didn't know what it was.

Answer 5

I think it would just confuse many people.

Carbonated water is Seltzer not soda.

Soda is carbonated water with flavored syrup or ect added to it.

Answer 6

I don't think it would matter people will still buy the beverage of their choosing.

Answer 7

I think it would have a BIG effect. I think people would not want to buy it anymore b/c of the name. Therefore, reduce the risk of diabeties in America.  

Answer 8

I don't think it would matter, people would still buy it and drink it. Good question, though =)

Answer 9

Health Freaks from all over would flock to it.

That or those easily manipulated by advertising.

Answer 10

I don't think it would have any effect at all, I love my Dr. Pepper
