Alternate Canada Dry Club Soda Uses

Canada Dry Club Soda is made from carbonated water, sodium bicarbonate, potassium sulfate, sodium citrate and disodium phosphate. Although there are a lot of club sodas on the market, Canada Dry is the most popular, and widely used.

The original concept of Canada Dry began in 1904 by a Toronto pharmacist named J. J. McLaughlin, who came up with the idea of selling soda water to drugstore owners, to be used with flavored syrups and fruit juices.

However, McLaughlin's heirs sold the business to P. D. Saylor and J. M. Mathes in 1923, and was it this pair who started the Canada Dry Corporation as it is today. It wasn't until 1930 that club soda was introduced.

Because of the carbonation in club soda, it's not surprise that it can be used for so many household chores. But not only can it be used for household chores, it can also be used for cooking.
