Does tapping an aluminum can before you open it mitigate fizziness?!


Question:

Does tapping an aluminum can before you open it mitigate fizziness?

Does it do ANYTHING???


Answers:
I tap on aluminum cans like this all the time. I like to think that it works, but I have never tried to prove it. I will go on record saying that every can I have tapped has not sprayed everywhere, but I haven't went out of my way to excessively shake it up first.

no, it does not. In fact, a cold carbonated drink will not foam over,but under given temperature will result in a mess.

It works!

Ha you know thats a good question i do it thinking it helps but does it? hmmm

Doesn't do a darned thing fo the drink, just a myth passed down.

I always tap gently a couple of times with my index finger on the ring pull.

And I will continue to do so because I DO think it helps.
