Feel for the "pressure" on the container. If it feels hard, it tells you how much dissolved carbon dioxide is trapped in there.
-
Get a good grip of the bottle body.
-
Turn the bottle cap slowly. Watch and monitor the amount of "fizz" that rises to the top.
- If it rises too fast and a lot of hissing noises, turn the cap the other way (as if you're closing it) to slow it down. Wait about 10-15 seconds to allow it settle down, then try again.
-
Turn the cap all the way to open it fully.

Tips
- There is a scientific difference between regular sodas and diet sodas. It is believed that diet sodas act differently when opened up due to the ingredient interaction (carbonated water, artificial sweetener, and preservatives). Another theoretical aspect is that diet sodas contain more carbon dioxide gas than regular sodas.Thanks
