TikTok hack to pour Coca-Cola the right way

The popular technique to pour Coca-Cola into a glass without the slightest fizz has been going around on TikTok for a while, and it’s very easy to do.

  1. Use an empty glass you want to pour the Coca-Cola into, to cover the mouth of the bottle.
  2. Turn the bottle upside down so it’s inside the glass and slowly start to lift it.
  3. Make sure the mouth of the bottle is in contact with the Coca-Cola filling the glass.
  4. You can remove the can once the soda is emptied into the glass and yes, there are no annoying bubbles.

The TikTok-approved hack works for real and can be tried on any other soda drink that tends to fizz while being emptied into a glass.

Why soda drinks form bubbles and other ways to avoid it

Carbonated drinks, popularly known as soda, contain carbon dioxide under pressure, so the gas dissolves in the liquid drink.

When the soda can is shaken or poured into a glass, the bubbles formed in the process allow the gas to escape more easily, causing it to overflow. Aside from the viral hack, there are a few other techniques to pour Coca-Cola and other soda drinks to eliminate or avoid the fizz.

  • Tip your glass slightly and rest the mouth of the bottle or can against the side of it. Empty the liquid drink slowly and you’ll see the fizz drastically reduce. The shortened distance between the soda and the surface where it lands minimizes the bubbles.
  • Another technique, again seen on TikTok, requires you to pour a small amount of whiskey into the glass followed by a large amount of soda. While this method works too, it is only advisable for readers over the drinking age and on occasions when it’s safe to consume alcohol.
  • Adding ice cubes into the glass first and pouring Coca-Cola over it considerably reduces the fizz.
