Explain this!
I just went to the fridge to get a drink of coke, the 2L bottle (which is HALF FULL) has been in there untouched for 3 days.
I get it out and unscrew the top and the screw cap flies up and hits the ceiling leaving a dent in the plasterboard!
I then expect the coke to fizz everywhere to quickly move it to the sink.............nothing not even a centimeter of bubbles on the top of the
contents.
The coke is still fizzy when i pour it.
I don't understand how it can produce so much pressure ( as if it had been shaken) but not fizz up?
I could understand if it had been in the sun and it was expanding air due to temperature as opposed to shaking it up.
I have certainly never sen a bottle top come off with that vigor before!

Coincidentally I bought one of the smaller ones when I had hangover last week and it was from some Arabic country with a Sticker over some bit of the
label. I twisted the cap and it went with a right bang and jumped the threads. Same as you though no fizzing over.

Have you seen what coke does to pretty well anything it touches ?
from metal to concrete, it strips it back to its original state
Its excellent for cleaning patios/toilets/ vinyl flooring
And you drink this stuff?

The Jetski Boys swear on the stuff after you had a mouthful of lake or sea water, drink Coke and it stops a bad stomach.

Coke is no more acidic than any other equally fizzy drink - lemonade, champaign, cheap lager... Remember how acidic your stomach acid is, then think
what weak carbonic acid might do in comparison. Your teeth and your waste line are the only bits that suffer.

Probably misplaced loyalty that though, Ive been kitesurfing, kayaking and lake swimming since I was a sprog, must have drunk gallons of sea/lake
water in my time and only once had a bad stomach from it - but that's what you get for swimming 200m downstream of a sewage treatment plant
during storms/floods. There's virtually nothing wrong with almost all of the water in the UK.

As above, if your stomach acid won't defend you from nasties, Coke certainly won't. Don't believe everything people tell you

Isn't it the phosphoric acid in coke that makes it a bit different?

Coke contains phosphoric acid, the stuff used to clean toilets, derust steel and so on. But if you intend using it for that sort of thing, just by
"Krusty imitation coke" and save a few bob.
BTW a mate reckons ali foil, scrunched into a ball and then used to rub coke on is the best way of tarting up dodgy chrome bumpers. It really is a
wonder fluid.

Not entirely true, my mate used to drink a lot of coke and has ended up with stomach ulceration. Mind you he did drink something like 4 litres plus a
day, so he brought it on himself!
If disfunction is a function, then I must be some kind of genius.

Coke is a lot cheaper than Cocaine though.
The teeth thing is BS, Drinking fruit based drink will do more to harm your teeth.

Also I think with most of these examples it's the coke syrup that's concentrated rather than the fizzy version you drink

coke has never been the same since they took the 'Cocaine' out of it.
Beware of the Goldfish in the tulip mines. The ONLY defence against them is smoking peanut butter sandwiches.

No - I can vouch for it.. The Trent is disgusting, and used to make me ill when I paddled on it... 1/2 can ok Coke before and half after, and never
got ill again.
