My family members say that tilting a seltzer/soda bottle to the side helps it not fizz up so much on opening.
I disagree with them because they don't have any rational explanation of why and I've personally never seen a dramatic difference. Although I havent done many tests and hard to compare bottles.
I just googled now and saw one article from Yahoo about it.and one comment something to do with CO2 getting more area to be reabsorbed idk. Still not convinced.

So, does tilting a seltzer bottle help?
In my experience it helps and I don't know why. Soda too.
Workflowy. You won't know what you're missing until you try it.

It's the same concept of tilting a cup when pouring beer into it. There's probably more to Google on that.

which btw, I’ve heard it’s actually more proper to not tilt the whole time, and let it foam a bit on top which traps the compounds inside wtvr ayin sham.

I feel w seltzer the bubbles want to go up when opened. So if it’s straight, then ‘up’ is to the half open lid then it bubbles out. But when you tilt it, then ‘up’ is to the wall of the bottle and it doesn’t spill out. Meaning it’s not like it fizzes less with a tilt, it just doesn’t fizz out bc it’s tilted
nothings impossible- the word itself says Im possible

I would use it.
A bag of popcorn caught fire in my microwave.  I've been using it for 8 years since then.

Recommendations? No. But I use this:
Huawei E5576-320 Unlocked Mobile WiFi Hotspot | 4G LTE Router | Up to 150Mbps Download Speed | Up to 16 WiFi Connect Devices (For Europe, Asia, Middle East, Africa) ($199.99 )



Maybe if I spent more, I would actually get normal service.

Not going to post this in the threads on the topic, but
What were five frum teenagers doing driving at 4:30 AM?

(Go ahead and stone me, but that's not something my parents would ever let me do - and not something I would allow my kids either)

How old were they?  I'd assumed they were retuning from an out of town wedding. But if that were so, it would have been part of the story.
When they're away in yeshiva, parents don't have the immediate veto to tell kids that something isn't a good idea.

There's a reason it's here and not in the more obvious place to post it.

That you realized it was insensitive and posted it anyway doesn't make it better

Is this a rule 6 violation? Or is YWNCR too (insert derogatory adjective here) to be competition?
