LOL I really thought he meant the usual pop - was thinking "what the...."
So what about Perrier? That even has some dissolved minerals... haha.

Drinking Soda as a CO2 Source in Aquarium
- Thread starter nagukush

It's bottled water, carbonated.. imported.
I tend to agree with 7 that the soda water isn't going to do much good. Pour some into a glass and see how long it stays fizzy. All those bubbles go flat in a matter of hours. If you pour some into tank water, they'll rise straight up and the gas will be released even faster. That isn't going to diffuse the gas bubbles into the water column.

I agree, you'll get virtually zero diffusion and the amount that' would be left to the plants wouldn't help any more than the Co2 naturally found at equilibrium within the tank.
how bout stick the filter intake (if u have a canister)in the bottle and let the filter suck it up and diffuse it into the tank
I would just poke a hole into the top of the bottle... and then run a hose from the bottle to my powerhead
that would be much more efficient-- and would get you a days CO2
