i am so smrt
my mum brought home some new drinks yesterday, one being fresca. she told me it wasn't a carbonated drink though to me it looked like it was. on the bottle's front label it says, "a refreshingly crisp citrus taste" and "natural and artificial grapefruit flavoured beverage". maybe she was right.. i took it to school with me this morning, figured i'd try it. just as i was about to open it, i noticed the word soda! bah. so i opened it, let some air in, then remembered anytime i was sick while i was younger my mum used to stir ginger ale to flatten it. aha! actually, not quite. i didn't have a spoon and even if i did it wouldn't have fit in the bottle. so i decided to do the next best thing: put the cap back on and shake. shaking is just like stirring right? so i shook, and shook, and shook some more thinking i was the smartest person in the world. as i was opening the cap i realised how dumb the idea was. i didn't make a huge mess though; only a few drops fell on the floor because i quickly closed the cap again before i was about to make a huge mess of the computer lab floor and be banned from it forever.
once the fizz died down, i decided to try it since it's been a long time since i've drank something carbonated. holy batman, it felt like my mouth was the battlefield for world war II! now my stomach feels funny..

That's amusing on so many levels. This is the kind of thing I mean when I talk about how you don't realize how knowledge is so different between people. You didn't know what Fresca was!? :)
By the way, not that it applies much since you clearly don't like carbonated beverages... but if you're drinking pop from a *can* you can stop it from exploding by simply flicking it on the bottom. It's a wicked trick, most people don't believe it until they try it.
i've never heard of fresca! i really don't think it's been in ottawa until just recently..
you know.. it's not that i didn't know what would happen if i shook a carbonated drink, it's that my brain failed to retrieve that key piece of information while i was trying to find a solution to my dilemma! i suppose 8+ years of not drinking carbonated drinks made my brain consider it useless information?
and i realise the best solution would have been to head to a vending machine and just buy something else :P
