Question:

What is the difference between carbonated water and club soda?

Is there a difference?


Answers:
For the most part they're identical.

But depending on the brand, there may be a bit of salt and baking soda added for an "authentic" taste.

if nothing more than added minerals, nothing. h20+co2.
and price because of the name.

Actually the "salt" in club soda is *sodium* bicarbonate... and siphon seltzer is usually more effervescent. But every brand of each is slightly different so read the labels

Human-made "seltzer," also referred to as soda water , was introduced in the latter half of the 18th century when carbon dioxide was injected into water. The original seltzer was the forerunner to soda pops, which came into being in the 1840s when flavors were added to seltzer water.
Soda water, also called club soda, seltzer water or just plain carbonated water, contains a small amount of sodium bicarbonate, which, because it's alkaline, can help neutralize an acidic stomach. Soda water is combined with sweeteners and various flavorings to produce a wide variety of SOFT DRINKS. Many COCKTAILS also use soda water as an ingredient. See also SELTZER WATER.

club soda, AKA seltzer, is just carbonated water...not to be confused with tonic water.

Pretty much the same thing
