Shall we step on the gas?

Carbonated drink lovers owe the invention of the water-saturation pump to the English chemist J. J. Priestley. In 1967, he presented his colleagues with a unique device that made ordinary mineral water fizzy.

But it was Jacob Schweppe who introduced this pump to the food industry. Yes, the very same father of the Schweppes brand. His company was the first to produce carbonated lemonades. The first to fulfill this role was lemon ginger ale. In 1833, the Germans were the first to try the equivalent of modern soda.
