We tom-tom every iced drink except which category?

• A. All iced drinks
• B. Anything fizzy
• C. Coffee-based drinks
• D. Fruit-based drinks

Answer: (B)

Recognizing an exception to a common prep step for iced drinks. In this scenario, there’s a routine step you’d typically apply to iced drinks to improve texture or flavor, and you’re asked which category should be excluded from that step. Fizzy drinks are carbonated, so applying that step would release gas and cause excessive foaming or loss of carbonation. That makes it messy or undesirable, so we skip the step for fizzy beverages. Non-carbonated options like coffee-based and fruit-based iced drinks can safely receive the step, often enhancing the drink without disrupting carbonation. Saying you’d apply the step to all iced drinks would ignore this practical exception, which is why the fizzy category is the correct choice.
