soda pop theory?

[ILCisDEAD]

@originalsin

hmm i would think possibly, say the cap is 100% sealed, like enough for gas to escape but not liquid (if thats possible?? lol) then laying it on its side would keep it more fresh i guess?

Pretty much nailed it on the head

@OfficerK

yeah I cant imagine on the side would make much of a difference…

now if it were upside down…then yes, on the side I can’t imagine too much of the gas being absorbed back into pop; upside down it has a lot more opportunity.

PS - I know this, I work for NASA and we tested this for space travel environments

NASA? what do you do?

@newman

not negative, really…

because in order for it to build any positive pressure the bottle must be in a fully expanded shape. As the gas leaves the drink, it will gradually push out the sides of the bottle until it has regained it’s original shape. At that point it can begin building pressure to keep the gas dissolved in the liquid.

It may actually be a vacuum in there, but the solution would try to obtain the proper vapor pressure, per temperature. so whether its a vacuum or not it will still pull gas out of the solution to hit its equilibrium point

@Tunerfreak

i have always done this and i have never had it go flat any sooner than uncrushed i actually think it lasts longer

His Theory is sound, isn’t flat faster = not lasting longer? your statement is kind of contridictory.
