marbleapple Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 Not if JamesMark wrote it. Well I was asking RedM to be honest Oh and for the record I too swear by tapping the bottom of the can trick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted May 9, 2008 Author Share Posted May 9, 2008 Well I was asking RedM to be honest Yes, I know. I was pointing out that Martin didn't believe what JamesMark had written 'on the internet' in this very thread. Nevermind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlotte Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 Yes, I know. I was pointing out that Martin didn't believe what JamesMark had written 'on the internet' in this very thread. Nevermind.

jamesmark Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 I bet he was slightly annoyed that it was so flat though. No, as it was a pressurised can it remained fizzy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 No, as it was a pressurised can it remained fizzy. It doesn't stay fizzy if you tap the side of the can 6 times with your little finger while pointing north with one shoe on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesmark Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 It doesn't stay fizzy if you tap the side of the can 6 times with your little finger while pointing north with one shoe on. WTF? I am going to have to buy him another can now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesmark Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 Eh? I think he means it in the same context as a Scotmans dropping 50p, He would be that quick getting it back that the 50p would hit him on the back of the head. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mathew Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 open it upside down. you won't damage the ceiling that way. saying that though spray from a can of stella should not result in needing a ceiling re-plastered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talking about spraying, Kronenbourg 1664 has now got a widget in it, when you open it and it all sprays out, also makes it flat, not nice.

Ian C Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 He's wasted in here. Usually yes You know I might just try this at the weekend if I can find a couple of glamorous assistants. Should be a laugh. I've seen conflicting old wives tales theories though, is it 20 taps, six, three, top or bottom of can, or both and if so in what order, and how hard? -Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Havard Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 If you would drop it, it would prolly dissapear for a while and then hit the floor in the kitchen True.. Eh? I think he means it in the same context as a Scotmans dropping 50p, He would be that quick getting it back that the 50p would hit him on the back of the head. Exactly!! I expected that Jake would have got that. Hey ho, anyway..... H. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedM Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 Just out of curiosity do you believe everything you read on the internet? No, but if science indicates that popular myth is wrong then I'll happily accept that. Usually yes You know I might just try this at the weekend if I can find a couple of glamorous assistants. Should be a laugh. I've seen conflicting old wives tales theories though, is it 20 taps, six, three, top or bottom of can, or both and if so in what order, and how hard? -Ian I did test it today. Shook a can up in the office. Waited for about the amount of time that a good 'tapping' would take and then opened it. No fuss, no drama, no spray of coke.

grahamc Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 Why don't you just read up on it first before trying to seem clever. You never know, you might just learn something. do you always believe everythng you read?? Usually yes You know I might just try this at the weekend if I can find a couple of glamorous assistants. Should be a laugh. I've seen conflicting old wives tales theories though, is it 20 taps, six, three, top or bottom of can, or both and if so in what order, and how hard? -Ian Always used to work on cans of coke when I dropped them... expect the one time that it rolled down my driveway and 8 - 10m long and at about 30 degrees decline! The answer to that one, was throw it in the pool Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedM Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 do you always believe everythng you read?? Not everything but if it's science based and accurate then yes. It certainly beats being an ignorant believer of old wives tales. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grahamc Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 Not everything but if it's science based and accurate then yes. It certainly beats being an ignorant believer of old wives tales. how exactly do you judge if its accurate? Believer is one thing, having tried it is a different matter, no ignorance involved.
