The ingredients of the soda are best described as a **solution** and a **mixture**.
- **Solution**: Carbonated water is a solution of carbon dioxide gas dissolved in water.
- **Mixture**: The other ingredients, such as high fructose corn syrup, sucrose, caramel color, phosphoric acid, natural flavors, and caffeine, are mixed together with the carbonated water, making it a heterogeneous mixture.
Thus, the soda is a combination of a solution (the carbonated water) and various dissolved and undissolved components (the other ingredients), resulting in a complex mixture.
