Can you shake a soda until it explodes?

Bubbles are produced violently since the tablet has a porous surface in which bubbles can form rapidly. Just to be perfectly clear, shaking an unopened bottle of soda (or champagne, or beer) does NOT increase the pressure in the bottle one bit, and this shaking will not cause it to be more likely to explode.

Will shaking a soda make it go flat?

If the package (bottle or can) remains sealed, shaking the package will have no impact since the dissolved CO2 can’t escape. But if the soda is in a open vessel, shaking it will accelerate the release (evaporation) of the carbonation making the beverage ‘go flat’.

What happens if you shake Coke?

Small bubbles caused by shaking help to hasten the escape of the soda’s carbon dioxide. Cans of carbonated soft drinks contain carbon dioxide under pressure so that the gas dissolves in the liquid drink.

Why does soda explode when you shake it?

Food Science: Why Carbonated Soda Explodes When Shaken. If you shake the bottle before opening it, some of the carbon that has been floating at the top of the bottle gets suspended in the liquid. This “extra” carbonation stays in larger (though not necessarily visible) bubbles than the already-dissolved carbon.
