A fact from Hard soda appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 28 June 2016 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:

Did you know... that hard soda is a fast-emerging segment in the craft beer industry that realized over one percent of overall beer category sales in the U.S. in May 2016?

A record of the entry may be seen at Wikipedia:Recent additions/2016/June. The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Hard soda.

But what IS "hard soda"?[edit]

Is hard soda ACTUALLY flavored beer, with hops and whatnot? Or is hard soda regular soda with a liquor such as vodka added? Or is it a malt beverage like "Smirnoff Ice"? The article, as is, doesn't even suggest as to what it actually is, other than giving names of various products. What is this stuff? Fieari (talk) 23:37, 28 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Not a world view[edit]

Per this ERRORS discussion, it would appear that this article completely omits the fact that these kinds of drinks have been available in Europe for decades. That Europe is not even included in the article is an oversight and hence I have tagged it with {{broaden}}. The Rambling Man (talk) 09:11, 29 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

If a template is re-added, {{Globalize}} may be a more targeted template than {{Broaden}} for this purpose. Mathglot (talk) 00:36, 29 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
