How do you keep the FIZZ in a 2 litre Cola bottle ?????
 

I once saw a guy use a cola gadget to pump air into it. I guess it was pressurizing the air so the CO2 wouldn't escape. Anyone know if those work ? Where do you buy them ?

I was also thinking you could mix carbonated water but that would dillute it. Maybe one of those funny looking Co2 capsules used for air rifles but how would you use that ?

Dry Ice ? Nah.


Any tinkerers or chemists out there have any ideas ?

Chug it!!!

:eek:

If you tighten it enuff, you don't lose carb. The only problem is getting a grip to get the cap off. I have a few tools in a kitchen drawer and just use a small crescent wrench.

Why buy a device to take up valuable real estate in your kitchen? For $19.95, I'll teach you how to preserve the fizz in your 2 liters with nothing to buy, no products to store, and best of all, NO shipping and handling.

Whatever you say, JOhn.

The pump/caps work fine. You can pump up a half full bottle and leave it for days and it still has plenty of carbonization.

thanks. forgot the name. Called a FIZZ KEEPER

I can't see how this would be a problem. A 2-liter never lasts more than a day in my household...

Okay - here's the free trick.

Simply squeeze the plastic bottle until the liquid is near the top and close the cap as tightly as you can. Works great for me.

Cheapest way is to squeeze the air out of the bottle and cap it. This keeps the carbon dioxide from dissipating into the air trapped in the bottle.

Now why didn't I think of that?

Whoa! Posted at the same time...

At what point to you figure you've squeezed the bottle enough?

Spend the money for one of the pumps

or

Drink the whole bottle at one sitting

or

Buy smaller bottles

or

If your Coke is flat, mix in some with carbonation left in it.

or

Drink water - no fizz, never had it, never will.

I'm telling ya, just twist the cap all the way until it locks. Fizz will last weeks.
