last night i ate an entire jar of maple butter and was aghast at myself until I realized it was basically like consuming two and a quarter cans of coke.

i guess if it's in the fridge you reduce the air pressure so more of the CO₂ can migrate from the water into the air in the bottle

the reason it goes flat generally is that carbonated water is like a chemical equilibrium between the dissolved CO₂ in the water and the gaseous CO₂ in the air in the rest of the bottle and the pneumatic pressure of the air keeps it in the water. as soon as you reduce the pressure by opening the bottle you shift the equilibrium point so more of the CO₂ wants to migrate into the air. shaking the bottle up simply speeds up the process of reestablishing equilibrium.

but relevant to the fridge aspect of all of this, if you reduce the temperature the pressure of air goes down much more than the pressure of water so that will also hasten the soda going flat but i don't know if that would be by a really noticable margin, i haven't done the math because i'm not a nerd

Thanks for the actual answer.

Oh so it comes out half-flat to begin with that sounds lovely.



OP stop buying 2 liters and start buying cans. Especially the mini-cans.
Yes but at least it's constant level of flatness.


Also no the cans are terrible in terms of value/$

 Instead of shelling out beaucoup bucks for CO2 just collect twice as much CO from your car's exhaust pipe for free!

It's candy water I'm trying to portion it not maximize my dollars to diabetes ratio.

Goofus: buys 2 liter bottle, pours half out because it went flat “huhhhhhhhhhhh value……” *fart*

Gallant: buys little 8 oz cans, always has fresh bubbly club soda at the ready in just the right amount :smug:

It's fizzy water it ain't got no dang sugar. Well I guess the splash of lemon juice I put in has a little bit.
