How do I make flat Coke?

Just saw mention of it in another thread and wondered the best way to make it flat. What do you guys do? Last time I messed with it was in cross-country back in '92 but it was prepared for us. This was obviously before I would have been worried about someone dopping me… :wink:

So, what is your technique?

Buy Coke.
Open.
Wait.

I just kind of put it in a bike water bottle, about 1/2 full, give it a little shake and then carefully open the spout to let the CO2 out. Do this a few times and it will flatten out. Another technique would be to just open up a bottle of it and put it in the fridge open. Over the course of a couple days it will go flat by itself.

Put it in a bottle, shake it, let the air out, shake it, let the air out, shake it let the air out…

I bet I could get you to drink pop if I stuck some booze in it…

Rye/Rum/Jack/etc & coke…
Gin/Vodka & tonic…

the list goes on and on and on… :smiley:

Thanks Tom…and others…this is the answer I was looking for. Of course I have “made” my share of flat coke in the past but was wondering about a fast way to do it.

Prolly haha… although I had 1 rum & coke in GC, the rest of the time it was beer beer beer and more beer :wink:

Put it in a bottle, shake it, let the air out, shake it, let the air out, shake it let the air out…

So it kind of like making a flat tire but you have to shake it first…

Got it.

I heart Slowtwitch.

You have to admit asking about techniques for making coke flat is kinda silly.

You’ve never left an opened soda can out on the counter or had to let air out of a dropped soda bottle before? There’s the technique right there, just depends on how much effort you want to put into it.

Will your next thread be “How do make flat coke cold?” =) Note the smiley.

go to mcdonalds, they are already flat

I usually dilute it 90/10 with water - makes it a little easier on the way down, and takes some carbonation out.

Mix it with diet coke,and drop a few Mentos in the bottle :-0

LOL, spit my coke on the keyboard…just kidding, won’t touch the stuff except in a long race or sometimes cold after a hundo bike ride it is the best…dr. pepper is the best, actually!
