PEOPLE WHO LOVE DRINKING FLAT SODA A guy named David shared on Reddit that flat soda is much better than carbonated. He explained that he took his first sip of warm, flat Pepsi in 2012 at a Christmas party. As bored 12-years-olds are wont to do, he recalls constantly fiddling around with his Pepsi bottle the entire night, to the point that the soda lost all carbonation and turned into syrup-y sugar water. He swigged away nonetheless and enjoyed the taste so much more, and the carbonation didnt upset my stomach or burn my eyes and throat.
And then the flat-soda lovers on Reddit came out of the woodwork. Another guy shared that his grandmother set out a cup of Sprite for 10 minutes, added some ice when it became flat, and handed it to her sick grandson. It was eye-opening, he says. The fizz that made my stomach hurt and my taste buds die was gone. It tasted like a lemon-lime drink, rather than a gut punch.
Are you a flat soda drinker? Hows it work how far in advance do you need to open a bottle to get rid of the carbonation before you drink it?
