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 ?

Coca-cola is the only company that makes money? Wal-Mart should be notified immediately.

I've noticed a small wierd trend of fast food workers resenting cola makers making so much money off their product. There's a Taco Bell where the manager asks you if you'd like a soda, but doesn't charge. "That stuff is like a nickel anyways." My buddy's sister works at St. Louis Bread and she's always bitching about paying for soda. Same remark "That stuff is like a nickel anyways."

You can't. My suggestion is a short term solution. It merely delays the inevitable. It's essentially the same thing as the expensive gadget, but free.
