I am a huge enjoyer of fizzy beverages. I love the excitement the carbonation adds to my life!
However when I pour soda into an ice-filed cup, the carbonation never makes it past the ice. It completely removes all the carbonation. Leaving me with a flat soda.
I know americans drink all their beverages with a shitload of ice. How do you guys do this? teach me your ways!
Cold soda in a glass, add ice while trying to agitate the liquid as little as possible. Cold liquids have greater capacity for dissolving gasses. It is less prone to release boubles. Use an ice machine for your ice. Smooth ice has fewer nucleation points for the co2 boubles to form. Cold, slow and smooth. Expect to loose some carbonation. In the cases i have very rugged ice from the freezer, i sprinkle some soda or water on them to melt the outer layer before adding my drink slowly.
Just noticed your username.
Go help yourself, asking help of others is immoral according to Ayn Rand.
Pull yourself up by your own bootstraps.
Not to mention Rand was an objectivist, not a libertarian.
Honestly I’m thankful when someone puts the red flag above every comment themselves.
I noticed your username, aren’t you that guy that keeps shitting on people after stealing small chunks of bread?
Nope. That’s a seagull, and a very dangerous mistake.
Fuck with the Albatross, and you’re cursed.
so albatrosses are not seagulls? they sure do look like it…
dood. an albatross has like twice the wingspan of a seagull. it’s an absolute unit. on pictures they may look slightly similar, but those beasts have >3.40 m (11.2 ft) wingspan. the sky goes dark when they approach.
I noticed your username, blocking you preemptively.
Don’t judge a lemming by its username.
I’m judging you by your username.
Only you, honey.

You pour it slowly into the side of the cup to avoid foam overflowing and losing carbonation that way and
-
You drink it relatively quickly and don’t nurse it for 4 hours.
I tend to just drink from the can of bottle, personally. I only pour it if it’s coming from a 2-liter bottle at a party. If it’s my own and nobody else is gonna have any, I’ll drink from the bottle.

You are basically derailing this thread… a common form of trolling.
If your username isn’t sincere, it’s trolling to begin with when you know this site leans left, and you’re getting exactly what you signed up for using that name.
If your username is sincere, well…
The quote was from Ayn Rand herself for what it’s worth.

Cold soda holds on to carbonation better. Try keeping it in the fridge before pouring. This also reduces how much the ice waters down your soda
I’ll keep it in mind, will also try to get smoother ice…

The soda is supposed to be cool when you pour it.
I had some soda prepped for this reason to be completely cold and when i poured it over the ice, the ice removed all the carbonation. basically it started fizzing as soon as it touched the ice. When i just poured it into an empty cup nothing like htat happend.
edit: apparently if you rinse your ice cubes in water it helps prevent the decarbonation
Fuck if I know. One of the reasons I don’t use ice.
For the best results, keep both the soda and empty drinking glass in the refrigerator.
Then start with an empty glass tipped 15-20deg toward open can or bottle of soda.
Pour slowly onto upper inner edge of tipped glass. Stop with enough room in the glass for additional ice volume.
Place each cube into the surface of poured soda before releasing it.If you’re insisting on ice first, use the other techniques but with a preloaded glass instead of empty.
