Here's why:
* Baking soda reacts with acids. The reaction produces carbon dioxide gas, which causes fizzing.
* Many liquids are not acidic. Water, oils, alcohol, and many other liquids are neutral or basic (alkaline).
* Acidic liquids that react with baking soda: Vinegar, lemon juice, orange juice, yogurt, and some fruit juices will react with baking soda.
Important note: While some liquids might seem to react with baking soda, it's usually not a true chemical reaction but rather a physical change. For example, baking soda might dissolve in water, but that's just a change in state, not a chemical reaction.
