pet peeve

I go to the fridge, take out a bottle of diet Pepsi and find that it's tottally flat because someone didn't screw the cap on tight enough.

because my husband insists on screwing the lids on so tight,
no-one in my house can get them off!

I can't stand it when someone does that.

Do you also find that the last inch or so in the bottle doesn't taste right?

Nobody wants to drink that part in our house.

Leaving the bottle out and using ice to make it cold will make the fizz last longer. Goes flat quicker in fridge. When warm, the gas inside the bottle expands more, and pushes the bottle against the cap making a better seal. Try it.

tiggerwannabe LOL, I do the same thing.

I agree, Dan. We leave the 2 litre bottles on the counter instead of refrigerating them and the fizz lasts longer.

I am a complete oddball...I admit it.... I LIKE flat soda better than fizzy soda

 

[KristiKelly]

Okay, if you leave it out, then the ice melts faster and waters it down and tastes as bad as flat

Kristi, That's just what I was going to post!

To me, the best way to drink a soda is to put it into the freezer until it gets just the tiniest bit of ice in it, then pour it into a glass glass or a stryrofoam cup. I can't stand to drink flat Coke. Not worth the calories to me.
