Usage notes
In American English (and possibly other varieties), a distinction is sometimes drawn between club soda and seltzer: a given brand will call a product seltzer when it contains nothing but carbonated water, but the product called club soda also contains a few other ingredients, although the products may be indistinguishable by taste and appearance.
