National Carbonated Beverage with Caffeine Day
National Carbonated Beverage with Caffeine Day celebrates fizzy drinks that combine carbonation with caffeine, including sodas and some energy drinks. Observed annually on November 19, it offers an opportunity to enjoy a favorite flavor, discover new varieties, and appreciate the role these beverages play in everyday moments and social gatherings. As one account describes, the celebration’s creator and start date are unknown.
The beverages themselves have a longer history. In 1767, English chemist Joseph Priestley experimented with infusing water with carbon dioxide, helping lay the groundwork for carbonated drinks, according to Houston Food Fanatics. Caffeine and carbonation eventually came together in the soft drinks enjoyed today. The holiday is a simple excuse to explore that bubbly combination—whether you call it soda or pop—and share the experience with others.
