The cobblestone roads shook up all the drinks I was carrying home on my bike 😠

    If you shoot your finger against the side (like shooting away a cigarette bud) several times, then slowly rotate the bottle around it’s axel while it’s standing on a table several times, you can safely open them without them squirting all over the place. It truly works, also with shaken soda/beer cans.

    What I do with these groceries is put them in a bag on my back or in my hand when cycling. The rack is for other stuff like veggies and other stuff that can handle the shaking or might get shitty when stuffed in a bag.

    But you have a nice rack on your bike. Although it looks hard to take anyone on the back, unless they stand upright.

        There’s more CO2 dissolved in the water than there can be at atmospheric pressure. The CO2 is constantly trying to escape, but in order to do so it needs a nucleation site that disturbs the water. When the drink is shaken, lots of little bubbles form, and stick to the inner wall of the drink. These bubbles are nucleation sites. Flicking the side of the drink makes them float up and pop.

          That makes no sense. I apply way more pressure than a flick just by holding the bottle to open it

            Maybe peak pressure is higher for a millisecond when you flick the bottle. A flick would send a little shockwave through the bottle.
