I’m sure the liberals will blame climate change for this.

[the_Watchman]

Are they cutting back on CO2 emissions? 🤪

Only made from real sugar in glass bottles shipped in from Mexico.

I mix my coke with bourbon, never noticed it going flat...

[bigbob]

I gave it up for Woke

[alexander_busek]

Anyway, they mentioned the other day that the coca cola is going flat a lot sooner than it used to.

Are you referring to Coca Cola^TM - the actual brand (which should always be capitalized)?

Or to generic cola?

In any event, since Coca Cola's corporate management demanded that its employees try to be "less White," I have been boycotting it - so I don't care if it is getting flatter faster.

here’s a tip. Don’t drink CC out of cans. Only bottles. Preferably mexican coke.

Look into what they line CC cans with.

[Bartholomew Roberts]

Maybe it is the surface it is sitting on?

If I open a coke and leave it on a marble counter top, it will stay fizzie for hours.

If I put it in a cup hold on my tractor it’ll be flat in 15 minutes.

On the top of a running bar fridge, it’ll last half an hour to 45 minutes before going flat.

Its mighty refreshing on ice

Coke used to be the exclusive drink for my family: coke Zero and regular sugar Coke. Biden made us stop drinking Coke. Prices got too high during the pandemic and during inflation. What I used to buy at $1.25-$1.48,is now at about #2.50 per 2 liter. That's higher than the inflation rate, so, I imagine that Coke was/is taking advantage of the 'crises'.

\ No more Coke; I've settled for off-brands and even store brands.

So, I won't be able to tell if it goes flat quicker than before. ;-)

Here’s strange one...

As a kid I lived on Coke. Then I got married and gained weight so I tried to lose weight by not drinking soft drinks. Didn’t work. In the meantime my wife who I lived with for 40 years was basically addicted to Coke but I wouldn’t touch the stuff.

Now that I’m not living with my wife, I’ve started up on Coke again and I enjoy it.

I keep it fizzy by only buying the the plastic bottles with the screw on/off top. As soon as I pour it, I screw the top back on and put it back in the fridge. Fizz stays for at least a couple of days.

[BradyLS]

First the coca. Then the cane sugar. Now the carbonization. All that’s left is water, corn syrup, cola, and caffiend. Those damp cabbages...

Wasn’t there a problem with fast food joints a few months back? I seem to remember they were unable to get carbon dioxide for their pop dispensers. Also, some beermakers use little devices in individual cans to provide more reliable, longer-lasting carbonation. Maybe soda pop makers do the same and are now unable to obtain the devices or have eliminated them to save a few pennies.

[Dr. Sivana]

Carbonation varies GREATLY from one type of container to another, and even among bottling plants, certainly between different fountain vendors.

In my experience, the 2 litre bottles are fizziest, then the cans, then the 16/20 oz plastic bottles, then the Mexican glass bottles. All are sufficiently fizzy.

[WKUHilltopper]

I refuse to drink woka cola.

[Jim W N]

I was was talking about keeping the fizz in the unused part of the opened 20-oz bottles which have the screw-on top and I keep in the fridge.

What I put into my glass or plastic cup, seems to say fizzy - it’s cold and I fill up the cup with ice. Seems to work fine for me.

I also notice that the 20oz bottles have dates on them that you can hardly read - I try to use the earlier dates first.

[SamAdams76]

No more soda pop for me. Not for at least 20 years now.

It will rot your stomach and give you diabetes. Even the "diet" ones.

Toxic. Toxic. Toxic.

[BipolarBob]

Get a SodaStream and put however much CO2 in it you want. Get one now before they outlaw it. (I’m not kidding).
