liquid candy that fizzes because it's secretly carbonated acid, and you ask for more
means A sweet, carbonated soft drink — the kind you crack open on a hot day.
from A doubling-up of two words for the same thing. "Soda" comes from sodium bicarbonate (and ultimately from medieval Latin "soda," a name for certain plants whose ash yielded soda compounds), once used to make water fizz. "Pop" is onomatopoeic — the sound of the cork or cap releasing pressure, recorded in the 19th century. Stick them together and you get the chiefly American "soda pop," where Americans politely couldn't decide whether to call it "soda" or "pop" — so half the country still argues about it.
