I started thinking about this and the implications just go on and on. Would I be right in saying the natural colour for soda type drinks is either clear, or dark brown? Anything else seems weird. Things like red (raspberry) fizzy drinks, green (lime) fizzy drinks etc may or may not be to your taste, but either way, the colour doesn't seem "normal" for a soda.

I then thought, well, when you think about it, dark brown is a most unpleasant colour for anything edible. But we have coffee, tea, chocolate in all its forms, the list goes on. Strange.
