How to Open a Shaken Soda

Soda Can

Use your finger to snap or flick the side of the can.

Turn the can a quarter turn & flick it again.

Repeat this six times.

Feel for the "pressure" on the container. If it feels hard, then wait until the pressure settles.

Slip your finger underneath the soda tab very carefully.

Lift up the tab slowly.

Wait for any "hisses" to slow down or stop.

Open the soda as normal.

Soda Bottle

Feel for the "pressure" on the container. If it feels hard, it tells you how much dissolved carbon dioxide is trapped in there.

Get a good grip of the bottle body.

Turn the bottle cap slowly. Watch and monitor the amount of "fizz" that rises to the top. If it rises too fast and a lot of hissing noises, turn the cap the other way (as if you're closing it) to slow it down. Wait about 10-15 seconds to allow it settle down, then try again.Open a Shaken Soda Step 11Bullet1.jpg
