To Squeeze or Not to Squeeze...

There is a silent debate, nay, argument, happening at my house. It’s something I’ve run into before in my life, and first encountered in my next-door neighbor’s refrigerator many years ago when I was growing up in CT. OK, don’t laugh. Some theorize that if one squeezes a 2-liter soda bottle after one pours but before one puts the cap back on, the soda will stay fizzier once said bottle is resealed. I disagree. I say that the squeezed bottle gives the carbonation in the soda room to expand within the confines of the container and therefore allows the soda to go flat. What say you? TTFN JMS
