Flat soda is better

Okay hear me out, flat soda isn't trash. It's where it's at. You get all the flavor without the annoying tickle of the fizz. It's like a fine wine, needs to breathe, right? Pop open a can and let it sit overnight. Thank me later. Or don't. Whatever.

Actually, carbonation can alter the mouthfeel and interact with the drink's flavor by adding a slight acidic bite due to the carbonic acid formed when CO2 dissolves. Flat soda lacks this component, which does shift the flavor profile dramatically. Yet, it’s not necessarily a downgrade - some might argue you get a purer taste of the beverage's flavors without the carbonation. Still, I think it’s an acquired taste—I live for that fizz!

I'm new to this whole flat soda jazz. Doesn't it lose some of the taste when it goes flat, or am I missing something??

I get where you’re coming from. There are days I can't deal with the carbonation. I prefer my stomach not feeling like a shaken soda bottle ready to explode. Will definitely give your overnight de-fizzing method a go!

What? And miss out on the glory of a mega burp after chugging a cold one? You must be outta your mind!

Interesting take! I can appreciate the stillness in a drink, allowing one to truly taste the flavor profile. While not for every occasion, intentionally degassed sodas can make for a unique tasting experience, where the sweetness, acidity, and individual flavor notes can be discerned without the ‘noise’ of carbonation. A subtle craft, not unlike enjoying non-sparkling wines.

You're onto something! Finally, someone who gets it. Flat soda is the understated hero of beverages. Smooth, full of flavor, no distractions - It's like enjoying the essence of the soda itself.

Nah, I gotta have my fizz, ain't no soda without it. The whole experience is the cool splash and the bubbles tickling your nose. Flat soda is just sweet water...
