Does Tapping a Soda Can Really Prevent It From Fizzing Over?

Truth is (and I’ve tested this) any can of soda, no matter how vigorously shaken, is safe to open after resting for 20 seconds.

Please note that this does NOT hold true for soda in plastic bottles of any size.

    • Not good advice Cat. One of the most severe punishments I ever got from my father was for doing that very thing. Two weeks of no TV and no playing baseball in the street with my friends. That was the longest two weeks of my life…I was only twelve but I still remember it like it was yesterday and my sister never lets me forget it.
