Silly question.

Kitten645.... see, I'm saying the OPPOSITE.

It gets fizzier when I open the bottle for the first time when it's room temp. It tends to explode all over.

If it's cold from the fridge, it's fine.

Warmer liquid EXPANDS.

Colder liquid SHRINKS.

Actaully, while it seems like it is the opposite...it is the same. The closed bottle has the gases trapped. Being less soluble at room temp., when the extra air is added and there is room to expand, the gases are emitted, and therefore bubbly. But becase the gas has been allowed to escape, after a short period of time, the room temperature pop is flat. If it is cold, the carbon dioxide is solublized in the soda, and escapes at a slower rate.

CincysMom, That sounds exactly what I didn't verbalize too well. Thanks!
