Answer:
Soda pop is a good example - the solvent is water and the solutes include carbon dioxide, sugar, flavorings, caramel color etc.
Explanation:
Generally in a diluted solution, like 90% water, 10% ethilic alcohol, the solute is the component that is present in small quantity, in this case ethilic alcohol. When the solution is not diluted, like 45% water, 55% methilic alcohol the difference solute-solvent is only conventional and it is defined from time to time.
Talking about soft drinks, almost all components are diluted solutions of alcohols and other organic compounds and salts in water, so that at the end the drink is a diluted solution of many components with water as solvent.
Strong alcoholic beverages are different: for example Cognac is generally 53% water, 45% alcohol and 2% other components. Here the difference between solute and solvent is only conventional and both water and ethilic alcohol can be considered solvents. The only important thing is that, once stated, the definition is maintained so to be always clear.
Hope it helps
