ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Soda syphon

Okay kiddo, have you ever seen a soda syphon before? It's a funny looking thing that makes fizzy bubbles in your drink.

Now, when you want to make something fizzy like soda or sparkling water, you need something called carbon dioxide. This gas is all around us, but it's not easy to get into your drink by herself.

That's where the soda syphon comes in! It has a special little cartridge inside that holds carbon dioxide. When you push a button or pump on the syphon, it lets a little bit of the carbon dioxide into your drink.

And that's how you get a bubbly, fizzy soda or sparkling water all by yourself! Pretty cool, right? But be careful, kiddo, soda syphons can be a little bit messy so you should ask for your parents' help when using it.
