Have you noticed that if you pour pepsi into a glass , it remains fizzy. But if a plastic cup, it goes flat? And if you pour pepsi into those cheap plastic %26quot;SOLO%26quot; cups, forget about it... it goes TOTALLY flat INSTANTLY.

WHY DOES IT DO THIS? Does plastic eat the carbon bubbles somehow?
Maybe this phenomenon can be used to solve GLOBAL WARMING!!!

Oh ya - let%26#039;s solve global warming! We%26#039;ll call it the Pepsi Solution.

You pour Pepsi into a container and watch. The bubbles form on the side of the container - and then let go and head for the surface. This is because the bubbles are forming on the microscopic imperfections on the surface.

So theoretically, if the glass was perfectly smooth, the little bubbles wouldn%26#039;t form and you%26#039;d stay bubbly forever!

Anyway, it%26#039;s probable that plastic has a lot more imperfections than glass does - and thus makes more bubbles which steals the CO2 out of the your Pepsi more quickly.

I%26#039;d say - call the White House right away and complain. This might be something that Bush could understand.

ok
maybe bush found evidence of bubbles of mass destruction.

• Actually, I think it%26#039;s more fizzy at all. I think it%26#039;s because you see the bubbles much more easily through glass than plastic. After a while, that effect builds, and it%26#039;s what you expect to see, so it becomes even more pronounced.
  
  Someone test this. I have no Pepsi.
• No the glass holds its temperature longer than a plastic container
  .. .... ..
  It is the temperature difference that makes the fizz as you call it
  Drop an ice cube in a warm cup of Pepsi or any carbonated drink and watch the fizz effect of the cold ice cube
  .. .. .
• Maybe if we could build a huge machine to shake the earth, all the CO2 would go into space.
• U can drive CO2 out of water with salt.
