Hi! Just wondering if anyone knew the answer to this!.!. it was puzzling me!.!. Thanks! =]Www@FoodAQ@Com


Answers:
fizzy[carbonated] drinks go flat because the there is nothing to hold the co2 from escaping----co2 [105 p!.s!.i!.] is force into the water with the help of a motor pushing/forcing water into a carbonator tank!. the colder the drink, the more carbonated the drink taste!. even if the drink is well carbonated, if not below 40 the drink will taste flat -too much syrupWww@FoodAQ@Com

first answer said it!. It is CO2 that makes those bubbles!. They rise to the top and "pop"!. Every time they do that, your "pop" gets a bit more "flat", until the whole thing is basically sugar-water!.
Hot days increase this action, and also increase evaporation, making the flat drink more "syrupy", if you were to wait long enough to drink a hot, flat "soft" drink!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

The carbonation or gases in the beverages are released into the air !.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Yes but it's anyday not just warm days!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
