Through an interesting post by an anonymous flight attendant, known only as “Jet”. It was explained that the scientific reason why Diet Coke can be a little challenging to pour.
This is because, as it is at high altitudes, the drink has a thicker consistency than other carbonated drinks that are served on board.
Consequently, the coolant can end up coming out in larger than intended jets and possibly soiling the tray of those sitting or, even worse, their seatmates.
So the next time you're flying on a plane and thinking about ordering a Diet Coke, consider ordering an option. easier to pour or simply be patient while the flight attendant tries to pour the drink without causing a disaster.
Did you know that when carbonated drinks are served on airplanes, they tend to bubble a lot more than usual?
This is because the air pressure is lower at high altitudes, allowing CO2 to be released more easily. And Diet Coke is the foamiest of them all!
But don't worry, there's a very clever way around this problem. In an informative post on the Jet blog, which is written by author These Gold Wings, it is revealed that it is possible to reduce the foam of Diet Coke by pouring it in a specific way.
According to the author, you have to wait a while before continuing to pour after the first bubbles rise.
The author also explains that if three passengers order Diet Coke at the same time, it is better to start the service for other orders, and then go back to Diet Coke. Otherwise, the bottles will foam and it can be difficult to control them.
To show how it works, the author made an instructional video on how to pour the drink in a “smart way”. It's not easy being a flight attendant, but with a few simple tips and a little practice, serving carbonated beverages on flights becomes easier.
