Why do we burp after drinking a cola?!


Question:

Why do we burp after drinking a cola?


Answers:
coz it is a carbonated drink. (--,)

blame the carbination

Carbonation



Carbonation occurs when carbon dioxide is dissolved in water or an aqueous solution. This process yields the "fizz" to carbonated water and sparkling mineral water, the head to beer, and the cork pop and bubbles to champagne and sparkling wine.

The cola gets agitated when you swallow it and that is what releases the carbon dioxide which was stored in it.

to get the gas out

All the gas pumped into the soft drink might be a good reason why. Where else is it going to go?

blame the spirit, aka the fizz and the gas ^_^

We burp or belch to release the air we swallow while drinking or eating anything. Most fizzy drinks like cola have carbon dioxide in them. When we drink them, we take in a lot of carbon dioxide. They get warmed inside our stomach and rise. Extra gas is then forced out of the stomach, up through the esophagus (the food tube that connects the back of the throat to the stomach), and out of the mouth as a burp.

carbonation...bubbles/gas...yo... have to get rid of them somehow...one end or the other...

not sure but I just did that about 10 seconds ago -- excuse me -- drank the pop a little too fast

due to the carbon - di - oxide dissolved in the drink .

we burp after drinking cola because all fizzy drinks conatain
carbonated water which contains carbon-dioxide.
it is this carbon dioxide that makes us burp.if you need proof for my answer read the ingredients on the sticker
on the bottle of cola.

There's a gas inside it.

Carbonation

We burp or belch to release the air we swallow while drinking or eating anything. Most fizzy drinks like cola have carbon dioxide in them. When we drink them, we take in a lot of carbon dioxide. They get warmed inside our stomach and rise. Extra gas is then forced out of the stomach, up through the esophagus (the food tube that connects the back of the throat to the stomach), and out of the mouth as a burp.

A burp ― sometimes called a belch ― is nothing but gas. When you eat or drink, you don't just swallow food or liquid. You also swallow air at the same time. The air we breathe contains gases, like nitrogen (say: ny-truh-jen) and oxygen (say: ahk-sih-jen).

Sometimes when you swallow these gases, they need to get out. That's where burping comes in! Extra gas is forced out of the stomach, up through the esophagus (say: ih-sah-fuh-gus, the tube for food that connects the back of the throat to the stomach), and out of the mouth as a burp.

Some kids find that drinking soda or other carbonated beverages makes them burp more. Can you guess why? If you're thinking that it's because these drinks contain extra gas, you're right! The gas that makes the drinks fizzy is carbon dioxide (say: kar-bon dy-ahk-side), another gas that can bring on big burps. Sometimes eating or drinking too fast can make a person burp because this can send extra air into the stomach. The same thing happens when you drink through a straw: extra air in = more burps out.
