Keeping Soda from Going Flat

RE: Keeping Soda from Going Flat By ceaton0317 (1) Contact Do not squeeze the air out. This actually makes it worse. You want to do the opposite: pump more air in. I've seen devices that let you pump more air in, thus increasing the pressure of the air in the bottle above the soda. This will prevent any dissolved gasses (CO2) from escaping as easily. Read about vapor pressure to get a physical understanding. Weather you have this device or not, the best thing to do is this: handle the bottle of soda very, very carefully (like it has nitroglycerin in it) as to not disturb the soda. Any shaking or rapid movement will increase the rate at which the CO2 is released. I use this technique with my soda, and I usually can enjoy every drop, depending on how long it takes me to finish it.

This works well for carbonated water too. :-) Posted on 07/30/2008 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Keeping Soda from Going Flat By Lynn (750) Contact Once the bottle is opened the air pocket in the empty part of the bottle is enough to make the remaining liquid go flat, no matter how tight the cap is on. Squeezing the air out is probably the best thing you can do to prolong it's life.

It always works for me. Posted on 07/29/2008 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Keeping Soda from Going Flat By catastrofy (285) Contact Thanks, people!! I will try some of these suggestions!

Or you can purchase a soda dispenser for liter bottles at www.kitchencollection.com . You also can purchase very inexpensive "soda savers" can lids for cans at www.kitchencollection.com. I have used both the liter pumps and the can lids and think they work as well as can be expected considering that the pop will eventually go flat no matter what you do. However, they both extend the fizz and the expense for both is almost non-existent compared to what you can save on soda.

That perks it up quite a bit. Posted on 07/27/2008 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Keeping Soda from Going Flat By carolb (86) Profile Contact Yup! I agree with the last post! Squish the bottle till there's no air in it, and the pop stays fizzy!

The soda will not go flat for a long time at room temperature.

I used to waste a lot of money dumping soda out that had gone flat. I read somewhere that if you squeeze air out of the bottle until the pop is up to the top before you put the lid back on it wouldn't go flat in the fridge. I tried this and it works great. I've kept opened bottles of soda in the fridge for weeks and when I open them they still taste great and aren't flat. Posted on 07/27/2008 | Report Spam or Abuse
