ive been trying to google this but i dont really know what to type in. what happens when you shake up a bottle of coke. like what causes it to fizz and spurt out? if anyone could find a website explaining this so i can read it i would really appreciate it.

the carbonation in it is what causes it. You're agitating it and it's wanting to be released. You're basically seperating the carbonation (the fizziness) from the rest of the soda and it wants to escape.

Yeah exactly what he said ^^^^^^^

Yes. Nubius outlined it.

Carbonation comes from (Carbon Dioxide) which beverage makers dissolve into their beverages. Carbon Dioxide molecules stick together very tightly when under pressure. Water Molecules are denser then Carbon Dioxide molecules, there-fore slowing the CO2's release. Also, lowering the temp. of the beverage will slow the release of the CO2. Which is actually the process they use to dissolve the CO2 in the beverage. When a carbonated beverage is agitated {aka - shake up} the water and CO2 molecules start to seperate... Now open the container and watch the CO2 molecules release from the water molecules very quickly...

I acquire most of my knowledge from informational TV. Like "Discovery Channel, History, TLC, Food Network, Animal Planet...etc..."

That's what I watch them most... Sometimes comedy, sometimes sports.

out of curiusity, why does coke taste so much worse without the carbonation? people are just used to drinking it that way?
