I am a huge enjoyer of fizzy beverages. I love the excitement the carbonation adds to my life!
However when I pour soda into an ice-filed cup, the carbonation never makes it past the ice. It completely removes all the carbonation. Leaving me with a flat soda.
I know americans drink all their beverages with a shitload of ice. How do you guys do this? teach me your ways!
Just noticed your username.
Go help yourself, asking help of others is immoral according to Ayn Rand.
Pull yourself up by your own bootstraps.
I noticed your username, aren’t you that guy that keeps shitting on people after stealing small chunks of bread?
Nope. That’s a seagull, and a very dangerous mistake.
Fuck with the Albatross, and you’re cursed.

If your username isn’t sincere, it’s trolling to begin with when you know this site leans left, and you’re getting exactly what you signed up for using that name.
If your username is sincere, well…
The quote was from Ayn Rand herself for what it’s worth.
Cold soda holds on to carbonation better. Try keeping it in the fridge before pouring. This also reduces how much the ice waters down your soda
The soda is supposed to be cool when you pour it.
I had some soda prepped for this reason to be completely cold and when i poured it over the ice, the ice removed all the carbonation. basically it started fizzing as soon as it touched the ice. When i just poured it into an empty cup nothing like htat happend.
edit: apparently if you rinse your ice cubes in water it helps prevent the decarbonation
Cold soda, pour a short burst of soda over the ice to “rinse” it and prevent the texture of the ice from stripping the carbonation (same thing that happens when you put mentos in soda). It also fills the glass with as much carbon dioxide as possible, displacing the oxygen. Then tip the glass slightly and pour against the glass and between ice cubes about half way, rest for just a second (not completely) and finish pouring.
Ice from a home freezer is completely frozen, but a dedicated ice maker for restaurants or gas stations will have ice that is still wet which makes this far easier.
The absolute easiest and best way I have found is a Qarbo bottle. Which is a brand of home carbonator that allows you to carbonate any liquid and slowly release the gas. I will fill it with ice and soda, then recarbonate it before shaking it while pressurized.
