The cobblestone roads shook up all the drinks I was carrying home on my bike 😠
This is why you need aomwthing with tank treads. Like a tank for example
Op didn’t say if they were in Germany or not.
Or just say you’re feeling like Poland and tanks will appear
Stupid part is that I can’t ride a tank around here with all the tank-hostile architecture 😠 They got these triangular tank obstacles scattered around everywhere, it’s so inconvenient!

You need a Mars rover style split tank thread solution!
Also some better shock absorbers, also like a Mars rover
Shaking does not affect this the way you think it does. You’ll be fine as long as you wait like 10-60 seconds after shaking vigorously. The liquid and gas pressure inside will reach equilibrium, and no matter how much shaking you do, it won’t degas further.
Also, keep in mind that it’s mostly temperature and surface area that causes soda to degas (fall out of solution).
Fun fact: this is why paper straws are inferior to plastic straws for drinking soda, because paper is insanely more porous than plastic, and causes rapid degassing of the soda inside of the straw, rather than in your mouth, throat, and stomach. (There are other reasons, too, but this one is often not considered by most people)
Carry metal straws. They’re awesome
I don’t like the way they taste. I’m on team glass straws.
Even better, no straw. Sip it straight from the cup.
Nah, curl your tongue into a tube and stick it in the drink to use as a straw
Anteater detected
Metal straws have to have a rubber or other dielectric mouthpiece, or electrolysis sets up in the mouth and the electrical activity confuses the hell out of the taste buds.
Hot take: I actually like the cardboard ones
I raw dog my drinks.
They need to be cooled anyway before being drunk, so the beverage has some time to relax
also if you spin the bottle a few times (while it’s oriented normally) all of the bubbles stuck to the side go to the top and redissolve….
learned it on “better call saul” and it works amazingly.
….
since the bubbles are lighter than the liquid, when you spin it centrifugal force knocks the bubbles off the wall….It still takes hours for those to dissolve.
Also, with those bottles, if you’re prepared for them to potentially explode, you can open them carefully and just close it again if pressure leaks out quickly once the seal opens. Then let out the extra pressure in short bursts and the bubbles won’t bring a bunch of liquid with them because they can’t build enough momentum to lift it.
that’s a first world problem if i’ve ever seen one
Maybe you should put something to dampen that. Like bubble wrap, newspapers, stuffed animals?
You’re saying I should have bought more chips?? Don’t mind if i doo
If you buy potato chips as shock absorbers you’ll come home with potato dust
Still tasty though
Ha! I needed baguettes, got two and tossed them in the bike basket, feeling so European, until one loaf bounced out and was run over by a car, at which point I felt oh so American!
American here. I have seen plenty of roadkill in my lifetime, but none of it was ever a baguette.
In my experience the roadkill is way more likely to be the cyclist. You really can’t ride a bike where I live.
somebody crusha ma baguette 🐭😡
With cans you tap on the top a few times before opening them so that the fizz doesn’t come bursting out. Is there a similar trick for bottles?
Contrary to what would seem logical, you’re actually supposed to shake them side to side, canceling out the fizz. It’s best to open it up right afterward as well, while holding it under your nose. Old wives trick
That’s half myth. It might work a little, it might not work at all. Best bet is to just let the beverage sit for a couple minutes.
:O
I learned it in some science-y educational TV show from when I was a kid. It’s never failed me.
Found another video with more info: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YrizFz-bgX0
I don’t know who “dine in style” is, and I’m not watching a video.
Here’s one from BBC science focus:
Tapping the sides of the can before you open it might help to dislodge the bubbles, so the gas is all at the top of the can and there are fewer nucleation sites. But it’s only partially effective. Leaving the can to stand for a minute works better.
Snopes describes the process and actually conducts an experiment: https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/on-tap/
So hence my suggestion that it may work, but is mostly likely myth.
Cool them down and let settle before opening. Should help.
I get more bike maintenance issues if my route to work has a lot of cobbled roads. I end up taking longer routes to avoid the cobbles. There are not enough dedicated cycle paths.
I still wonder who ever thought cobbled roads are a great idea.
Terrible to ride. Terrible to walk. Bad at just about everything.
As long as they’re hot they shouldn’t pop. The fizzing over should only happen when it’s cold.
So where’s the problem?
A backpack would solve this. Our bodies are suspension, so just put anything shake-sensitive in your backpack while driving home.
but 6 liters of cola? you can’t fit that in a backpack
Why not?
I just backpacked home 18 cans which is about exactly 6 litres.
But I could easily also fit 3 2 l bottles or 6 1l bottles or 12 0.5 bottles.
And that still leaves like half to a third of my backpack available, depending on the shape of the containers.
Backpacks are usually around 20-30 liters in size.
Edit also tbh that looks more like 6 1.5l bottles but I’m not sure of that and I think it’ll they’d fit in my backpack
1.25L actually if you look at the top of them. but that must be an exceptionally big backpack. or maybe that size is just not that common in my country for some reason
I can feel your pain, switched to Picnic though, never looked back.
I have even put cobblestones in the garden now for nostalgic reasons. (Basaltkeien)
Two nuns are riding their bikes back to the convent.
One nun says to the other, “I don’t think I’ve ever come this way before.”
And the other one says, “It’s the cobblestones.”
No cobbles in the pictures
