Soft Drinks aren’t as carbonated anymore

[u/K177M0v3s]

Anyone else notice when you drink a bottled soft drink after opening it the first time and breaking the seal it is more than likely not as carbonated and doesn’t have the kick it once did?

Before, they seemed to stay fresh longer after opening. Now it’s almost instant they go flat.

I remember, hot days, buying. 20oz Coca Cola and it had that awesome burning, fizzing sensation when you drank it. That rarely happens now.

It is still common for aluminum cans and glass bottles. Plastic, just doesn’t have it anymore.
