My soda is nice and carbonated.

[jules]

I hate flat soda. I hate it with a passion. I think I've solved the problem.

It's so simple, but works so well.

I opened two bottles of soda four days ago, and stored one right-side-up and one upside-down.... the one that was upside down is like new and the other is half-flat.

I don't know why I didn't think of it sooner. I feel so cool.

STORE YOU SODA UPSIDE-DOWN!

[Venus]

I myself have found a way to solve that problem. Buy the pop in little cans, and then drink the entire can after you open it.

[Billyman]

Damn, two posts and already the...........

soda vs pop thing.

heh.

However, Venus has the better suggestion but Jules' findings was pretty damn cooj too. Who woulda thunk it?

[jules]

Venus' is more expensive though... by a lot...


It makes sense, really. Gas is more likely to escape through the part that isn't COMPLETELY sealed than the part that is...

[Escape Artist]

My solution is simple and elegant: If you're not going to drink it immediately, don't open it.

[Billyman]

For what's it worth, I buy my soft drinks in 2 liter bottles and I will be placing your findings into action. Thanks for the tip. ;)

jules, you better not be lieing to me

I only buy coke in 2 liter bottles to discolor liquor (unless its already discolored)

12pks are honestly more expensive
consider:
12pk of soda = 12 x 12oz --->144 oz
@~$3.50
144oz / $3.50 ----> 41.14 oz/$

2 liters of soda = 2.1Qts = 67.2 oz
@$1.00
67.2 oz / $1.00 ----> 67.1 oz/$

thats 63% more

but it GOES flat.......

[jules]

Try it with a bottle or two... worked wonders for me...

and EA. we don't all drink two liters of soda at once. with that logic, my soda would never get opened.

a winnar us you.

So I've started to get myself out of the habit of drinking soda. I am a serious Pepsiholic and have been since I was a kid. I am down to a 12 oz. can per day. Can I just tell you that it is tougher to kick than beer was? Amazing.

(BTW, I've been using the upside down trick for a long while now. Utahn's buy everything in bulk so that's been a trick we've been on to for a great while. Works great for all kinds of stuff around the house. )
