Pop is made in about 5-6 steps. The first thing that is needed to make pop is purified water that is much cleaner than tap water. Then the flavour is made. The flavour is usually a combination of natural ingredients and/or ingredients that are almost identical to natural ingredients. Those ingredients are combined with sugar and purified water to make a syrup. (Not the same water that is in the first step.) The syrup and the purified water are then mixed together. Then carbon dioxide is added to the syrup water using a machine called a carbonator. After that the pop is transferred to a filling machine while under pressure. The bottles/cans get filled with the pop and are then sealed. At this point the bottles/cans are still very cold. If they are packed at this temperature then condensation would make the containers wet and slippery. To prevent that the bottles/cans are sprayed with hot water to make them warmer. The bottles/cans are then labelled and shipped to wherever they need to go.

Response 2:

There is a multitude of ways to make pop, depending on the drink you want to create, it will have a distinct recipe. Lets use ginger ale for an example. First you are going to need 2 to 3 ounces of fresh ginger root, 3 tablespoons of orange juice, 3 tablespoons of lemon juice, ¾ cup of sugar, 4 ½ quarts of water, yeast and bottles/cans. Now in order to create the actually drink you will need to, chop up the ginger root, simmer the ginger, juices, and sugars in 1 ½ quart of water for 30 minutes to an hour, remove it from the heat, strain it with a kitchen strainer, mix it with the other 3 quarts of water, let it cool until it is lukewarm, put it in a small jar, stir in 1/8 teaspoon of yeast in with 1⁄4 warm water, after 15 minutes add the yeast solution to your brew, let it sit for 10 minutes and bottle it. This is only one drink out of the many that you can make. There isn’t one particular way to make pop, it all depends on the type of pop you are trying to create.
