Poll: Flat pop

[Gmans uncle]

When I first saw the thread I was thinking... WTF is "pop"?
Anyhoo, I've been known to drink flat coke when no one else wants it, but I much prefer fizzy soda.

Flat pop is on a par with a flat rollercoaster for me, the main point of it's existence is gone.

If a bottle doesn't go 'tssst' when I open it, it's going down the toilet, even if I don't have any more. I'd rather drink water than stale, old soda.

Hey, we can't all agree, right?

Flat cola used to be drinkable for me as a little kid, but then my tastes refined or something. Because pouring or shaken around tends to be the main cause of pop going flat, I tend to pour away 2 liter bottles when they're about three inches above the little stub things at the base.

That said, there's nothing so crisp and refreshing as a fresh, ice cold coke. Particularly from a can.

I'll spend upwards of 10 minutes shaking a bottle and slowly releasing the fizz then drink it fizzy.

You let all the fizz out then you drink it fizzy? How does that work? Surely letting all the fizz out renders it impossible to be drank fizzy again.

He must have a brutal case of OCD coupled with access to a soda stream.

It depends on the country (Each one has a different amount of fizz for most sodas sold) and the soda. But generally, yes, I prefer them with less fizz.

Sorry to bog this down with lowest common denominator shit, but the way you said that reminded me of the Bear Grylls meme.

I actually hated fizzed drinks till I was 10 and tried some beer...

Now I don't really drink soda. 'cept ginger beer. That stuff rules.

 

[lacktheknack]

Lemonade in particular tastes like grapes when it's flat

questionmark

OT: I don't prefer it, except ginger ale. Flat ginger ale is nectar of Heaven.

Yeah, I thought that too haha

I actually prefer room temperature soda. Unlike stuff in fridge, it doesn't change taste. I drink slowly so that is a big plus.

 

[Xannieros]

Hate the fizz. Usually I open it and wait until it gets flat.

 

[Supertegwyn]

Wow, I read that title horribly wrong.

And here I was thinking how painful flat poop would be.

You and me both.

OT: Nope, I hate it.

 

[ElPatron]

Flat Coke is so much nicer than fizzy Coke. I'm stunned at how many people have said that they will throw it away if it's gone flat. Mental!

Unless it has been watered down like in McDonalds, it tastes horribly.

Removes the acidic taste of the CO2, feels as sugary but much more sour. I won't throw it away, but it's not the same thing.

And flat Fanta makes me puke.

 

[commandersqwigly]

Ha, I read that as "flat poop". OT, I'm not a fan of flat soda, takes away a lot of the flavor.

 

[Xeraxis]

Basically half the point of soda is the fizz. To me, flat cola doesn't taste as good, and is only something I'd drink if there was nothing else.

 

[smithy_2045]

No, that's disgusting. Soft drinks require the bubbles.

 

[DanielBrown]

Wait, people actually drink flat soda?

And like it?

My reaction exactly. Only one way to express myself.

What is this I don't even...

 

[everythingbeeps]

Nope. Can't stand flat soda. And some of it goes flat really damn fast.

 

[Hylke Langhout]

Here in Indonesia the soda is specifically designed to go flat quickly, so I've become accustomed to flat soda now. I actually like it better than fizzy soda.

 

[StormShaun]

Well, sometimes I drink diet coke or whatever from a cup by my computer, I usually forget about it until it is completely flat, but I still like it.

Both ways I say.
