There was lots of different answers to my refrigeration question last week. Practically speaking, and from the answers given, I think my best bet is to completely fill any open space in my fridge with drinks.

New question: If I shake up a can of Pepsi, and then let it sit for a week, and then open it, will the taste be altered? Will the Pepsi taste as if I didn't shake it at all?

Re:Can

[dmorin]

I accidentally froze some soda in a can once, and it came out uncarbonated, and quite bad

If you time it just right you can get a can of soda so cold that it hasn't yet frozen, but if you crack it open and pour it into a frosty glass it will actually freeze as you're pouring it. You end up with frozen foam. It's pretty cool. The trick is getting it cold enough before pouring, because if you get it too cold it will freeze in the can and ruin the whole effect.

I believe the original answer is that the tas

Re:Can

[moncyb]

There have been times when I've gotten a bottle (not can) of soda at the store and had it flat upon opening. I believe that happens because the case is too cold and the liquid freezes and then thaws.

Several years ago, I worked for a Pepsi distributor for a few days. I don't recall them ever chilling any of the drinks, but it was a long time ago, so maybe I don't remember. I think they only chill the soda when selling it at a convenience store or the smaller "drink ready" bottles. All of the 2 or 3 liter b

Re:Can

[Zirnike]

Well, let me run through a few things:

First, the CO2 ends up stored as carbonic acid. I'm not sure what the equilibrium point of that is, but shaking it might force the CO2 to a point where the acid doesn't 'come back' to the original point. That was my point.

And as for frozen foam, I do that all the time. I have a fridge at work (I drink at least one 2 L of diet coke per day...), and I keep it very, very cold. I can pour water into my ice trays and have slush form. It's quite nice.

You could use a concept from 9F17 for ultra-shaking your Pepsi cans... UTFSE, Luke!

Shaking a soda

[waferbuster]

No, the soda will taste the same, because a week is plenty of time for the gasses to go back into solution. It'll be just like you never shook it.

agreed...

[mekkab]

a week is totally enough time. 3 days is enough time.

So my question is: how long for the soda to get to 95%+ normal? "overnight"? 3 hours?

Dude,

That's a pretty obvious Photoshop job. Sorry to bust your bubble.

Try it!

[Gandalfar]

Humm.. now that is an experiment worth trying ;-)

Just take two.. shake one and taste them after a few days .. easy enough :)

I don't think it would be exactly the same .. all the gas won't go back into and will just escape upon opening..

Some ideas

[torklugnutz]

Well, certainly the soda-pop would recieve a vigorous shaking on it's interstate road trip to the store. So, it would seem that shaking it would not affect the taste whatsoever.

One poster suggests that the only way to get a "control" Pepsi to experiment with is to visit the factory. Not so. Pepsi from a fountain is mixed (Carbonated water, added to Pepsi syrup) the moment it is dispensed into your cup. This would surely give you the most controlled flavor.

As mentioned, the carbon dioxide would go back int

only anagram i can think of is 'there he is' - any other ideas?

Once released from it's can of bondage, I believe you will find the beverage to be shaken, but not stirred.
