That's not how they make fizzy drinks, they directly add the CO2. The acid thing is a myth, you'd just get very sour and weird tasting water with the slightest bit of gas since that process is too slow to be viable for this use.
Carbon dioxide dissolved in water creates some carbonic acid. Don't think they meant they added carbonic acid to water to carbonate drinks.
Very little tho. And it's what they said as well as a common belief
It's actually quite a bit. It's enough to push the ph of carbonated water down to around 4.
The carbon dioxide reacts with water to decrease the pH. That sounds like it is an acid to me.
