Today's shilling target is the Today I Found Out channel. I don't like how much self-promotion and in-video ads that they do, but since this is their full-time job and they make daily videos I guess I can't complain.

Anyway, today's video is about whether tapping a shaken can of pop (they call it soda, but to me it's pop!) helps to stop foam spillover. If you don't want to watch it, the short answer is...no, it doesn't. Just give a shaken can a minute to settle down.

There are lots of charts and experimental results (and lots of pouring perfectly good coke into a foam cooler to throw out later, ugh). To quote Adam Savage, "The only difference between screwing around and science is writing it down".

And I think I already posted the pop vs. soda survey results years ago, but I can't find it, so here it is again.
