I think the fact that soda is carbonated makes it fizz.

Coca-Cola \n \nThe wave shape (known as the "dynamic ribbon device") present on all Coca-Cola cans throughout the world derives from the contour of the original Coca-Cola bottles.Coca-Cola (also known as Coke, a name which was trademarked by The Coca-Cola Company after it was discovered many people called it by that particular name) is a very popular cola, a carbonated soft drink sold in stores, restaurants and vending machines in more than 200 countries. It is produced by the Coca-Cola Company (NYSE:KO), which is also often referred to as simply Coca-Cola or Coke\n\n\nin 1891 Candler claimed his formula (altered extensively from Pemberton's original) contained only a tenth of this amount. Favorable to popular belief, Coca-Cola did actually contain cocaine at one point ([1], [2]) per se, which is a highly refined extract of coca leaves and was always far too expensive to use in a mass-market beverage. However, as cocaine is one of numerous alkaloids present in the coca leaf, it was nevertheless present in the drink. Today, the flavoring is still done with kola nuts and the coca leaf; however, the coca leaves used today are "spent" leaves - the leftovers of the cocaine-extraction process - however, one cannot extract cocaine out of the leaf at a molecular level; therefore, the drink still contains trace amounts of the stimulant.

INVENTOR OF TOOTHPASTE \nIn 1850, at the age of 23, Dr. Sheffield invented the world's first toothpaste, a formula that was manufactured in a small laboratory at 170 Broad Street, the actual site of the Sheffield factory today. It is given to but few to attain the eminence in their vocations that Dr. Sheffield has in his profession, and his practice has been one of the largest and most successful ever received by a New England dentist. For some time, in his private practice, he had been using the preparation now known to the world as Creme Dentifrice, and with such single and pleasing results that the demand prompted its making on a larger scale. This led to the erection of the laboratory on Waller Street, and, quickly following the preparation being placed on the market and its qualities becoming known, a marked increase in the demand was felt. Creme Dentifrice is unlike any other dental preparation in the market; it has been used in caring for the teeth by most critical people for years, and always with the best results. It is absolutely harmless and while not intended as a "cure-all", it has many valuable properties other than the one mentioned. This, however, is only one of the laboratory's preparations, and as an adjunct to it, the Elixir Balm is most valuable for healing, hardening and strengthening the gums as well as giving sweetness and purity to the breath. When it is used in conjunction with Creme, tartar and other affections are quickly removed or wholly prevented.\n\n\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n\nFIRST TO PACKAGE TOOTHPASTE IN TUBES \nDr. W. W. Sheffield's son, Dr. Lucius Tracy Sheffield, was a graduate of Norwich Academy of Norwich, Connecticut, and of Harvard University. And following two years of study in Paris, France, where he observed the use of collapsible metal tubes for paints and inks, he originated the idea of putting his father's jar-packaged dentrifice in collapsible metal tubes.

Coca-Cola® originated as a soda fountain beverage in 1886 selling for five cents a glass. Early growth was impressive, but it was only when a strong bottling system developed that Coca-Cola became the world-famous brand it is today.\n\n Bottlers worried that Coca-Cola's straight-sided bottle was easily confused with imitators. A group representing the Company and bottlers asked glass manufacturers to offer ideas for a distinctive bottle. A design from the Root Glass Company of Terre Haute, Indiana won enthusiastic approval. The Contour Bottle became one of the few packages ever granted trademark status by the U.S. Patent Office. Today, it's one of the most recognized icons in the world - even in the dark!

"Inventing" Alcohol would suggest that it never existed until a human made it. This assumption is false, since Alcohols have existed as long as time. Methanol and Ethanol have been found in Interplanetary Nebulas.. far from the influence of mankind. So I guess no one invented it, maybe we discovered it... at some point, and who that person was, i dont think anyone really knows.

While various baking powders were sold in the first half of the 19th century, our modern variants were discovered by Alfred Bird. Eben Norton Horsford, a student of Justus von Liebig, who began his studies on baking powder in 1856, eventually developed a variety he named in honor of Count Rumford. August Oetker, a German pharmacist, made baking powder very popular when he began selling his mixture to housewives. The same recipe he created in 1893 is still sold as Backin in Germany. Oetker started the mass production of baking powder in 1898 and patented his technique in 1903.
