how do you prevent soda from going flat in the fridge?

When I put a 2 liter of soda pop in the fridge it always goes flat if its opened. Is there anyway to keep it in the fridge without going flat? I dont like ice as much in my soda pop.

That's the main reason I don't buy 2-liters. Unless you are going to drink it all in one day, it's a waste.

Squeeze the air out of the top of the soda before you close the cap. It reduces the amount of space in the bottle that the carbon dioxide can expand into, keeping more in the liquid.

I also need to know the answer to this question, even worse still is the fact that coe zero and pespi max seem to go flat even faster :cry:. I am also strongly against the use of ice cubes unless its July/August (even then it needs to have been in the fridge).

I don't have this problem, water ftw. :P

Now that I think about it, You could also pressurize the bottle to prevent the gas from expanding into the empty space. But you would need a one way pneumatic valve.

Drink it before it goes flat.

You could do that. Or you could store the bottles uncapped in an environment that is already saturated with CO2 gas so no more could dissolve into the air. Or you could buy coke syrup kegs and combine those with water and CO2 at the exact moment you pour your beverage leaving the rest stored for future use. Or you could transfer the remainder of your beverage into increasingly smaller but sturdier containers with tight seals.

I squeeze it on tight, works for me all the time.

Throw some yeast in there.McJugga

Only open and close it in a room filled completely with CO2?

shake it then open it really fast

Let it go flat on the counter top? I don't know.

Keep the lid on tight. There are things you can buy I guess.

Screw the bottle cap on really tight? Seems obvious. Or maybeI just go through a bottle before it has time to go flat...
