flat soda

Bubbleless soft drink

Flat soda is carbonated drink that has lost its fizz.

The carbon dioxide that creates bubbles gradually escapes once a bottle is opened, leaving the liquid sweet but lifeless: This Coke has gone flat.

Flat soda lacks the sharp, effervescent bite that defines the drink, making it unpleasant to most people.
