A riddle was posted on Reddit—Dadjokes on July 26, 2019:
Q: What’s the Earth’s favorite fizzy drink?
A: Tectonic water.
“Continental breakfasts should be served on tectonic plates,” “One tectonic plate bumped into another and said, ‘Sorry, my fault‘“ and “What did the tectonic plates have for breakfast?”/“Panquakes” are other tectonic jokes.
Wikipedia: Plate tectonics
Plate tectonics (from the Late Latin tectonicus, from the Greek: τεκτονικός “pertaining to building”) is a scientific theory describing the large-scale motion of seven large plates and the movements of a larger number of smaller plates of the Earth’s lithosphere, since tectonic processes began on Earth between 3 and 3.5 billion years ago. The model builds on the concept of continental drift, an idea developed during the first decades of the 20th century.

Replying to @Surviving_Mars
I would call it “1.013 Bar” and the signature drink would be “MarSoda”. We would also serve “Non tecTonic water”.
