Overfilled 1.5 litre water bottles - humour!

[404cameljockey]

Not a water bottle but has anyone tried to open a 1.5 L bottle of Coca Cola recently. The volume of liquid is OK but they have overfilled it with gas. The bottle is rock solid. I first discovered the problem after buying a bottle in Lotus’s and taking it home in the motorbike. I opened it after an hour in the fridge and it exploded shooting Coke about 10’ out of the bottle and all over the ceiling and walls. The bottle was left half empty. Now I take extra care. I open it outside and it still loudly goes POP when the gas is released. Someone should write to the Guardian about this

What do you do, just rip the lid off??

I've opened enough champagne in my time to know how to release gas from any bottle slowly. Now, ringpulls are another matter ....

No. I released the cap gently and slowly to let the gas escape but when it got to the normal gas release part there was a loud POP and the lid and contents exploded through the air.
