So I was drinking some generic grocery store 'cola' earlier and the can said 'no sodium' And sure enough, it was listed as zero on the nutrition label. How can you have soda without sodium??
There was a time when fizzy refreshment drink was made on the spot by mixing some soda to lemonade. The reaction of soda (a base) to the fruit juice (an acid) resulted in release of CO2 and a bubbly fizz. This drink was made using soda, so it was called soda, soda pop, or things like that.
Later when it became easier to just pump the drink full of CO2 from a canister under pressure, the name had stuck.
