A simple way to add fizz to flat soda pop.

I had no idea that the solution to putting the bubbles back in my flat diet coke all these years was sitting in my freezer in the garage.

I drive an ice cream truck in the spring summer and early fall. I always have a cooler inside a freezer in the garage packed with the days dry ice, saving what I can of it for the next day.

As I was researching recipes for my new soda stream machine, I learned that to add fizz is as easy as adding a small chunck of dry ice to the soda. Let most of the "smoke clear out of the top" and then cap it and shake. Wait until the obvious "inside explosion" dies down before opening it. This is obviously on a half drank bottle not a full to the top one.

We all know what happens when you shake soda and then open it instantly when it is full. LOL.

When I think of all the soda I have poured down the drain because I thought it was waste because it was flat, I cringe. Especially knowing I had the solution right under my nose in the next room.
