I finally stopped my soda from going flat with this one weird trick

Honestly, I got sick of opening a 2-liter bottle and it being flat by the next day. So I tried squeezing the bottle until the soda hit the rim before screwing the cap on. It forced out almost all the air. I tested it on a root beer last week, and it was still fizzy after 4 days. Way better than that vacuum pump gadget I wasted $12 on. Has anyone else tried this air removal trick or do you have a better method?

Ha, this is SO me I can't even. I once bought that same vacuum pump thing and it basically did NOTHING except make me feel like a clown who paid 12 bucks for a piece of plastic junk. Your air removal trick is GENIUS though, I literally just squeezed the air out of my Sprite bottle and my hand cramped up for an hour because I forgot I'm weak. I'm definitely trying this tonight because I'm tired of tasting flat soda and pretending it's fine like some kind of fizzy failure.

Third day with my Dr Pepper and I swear it still had that crisp bite. The hand cramp thing is real though lmao, I had to use both hands and really lean into it. Glad I'm not the only one who fell for that vacuum pump nonsense too.
