How to Open A Shaken Up Soda Bottle Without Spraying It Everywhere

Here's how to open a shaken up bottle of soda without having it spray everywhere.

Difficulty: Moderate

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Shaken plastic bottle of soda

1. Don't bother tapping the bottle. It won't do anything.

2. Go slowly. Start to turn the plastic cap very slowly.

3. Stop turning the cap as soon as you start to hear the very first hissing noises.

4. Let the cap hiss for about 15 seconds. Then open it a little more and let it hiss for about 15 more seconds.

5. Regulate the sound of the hissing carbonation so that it stays at a minimal level. If foam starts to come out, reseal the cap immediately, and start again.

6. After the hissing starts to reduce, continue slowly opening the cap until it's all the way off.

7. Practice until you can do it right every time. One of the foamiest beverages is warm Diet Coke in the bottle, so practice with that.

Tips & Warnings

• Hold high pressure sodas away from your face, or the faces of your friends while you open them. The cap might fly off.
