Semi-relevant thread debunking the fizz keeper: > [@Pressing Scientific Issue: Do Pump-Caps Preserve Soda Fizz?, Part II](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/pressing-scientific-issue-do-pump-caps-preserve-soda-fizz-part-ii/168380): > > There is a device called Fizz-Keeper, which allows the user to pump compressed air into soda bottles, thereby allegedly “preserving the fizz”. I am curious about this item’s effectiveness. [A recent thread discussed this issue](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=173268&highlight=fizz+keeper); I would like further details. (1) There are anecdotal accounts (including my own) that the fizz-keeper does indeed work. It is not necessary to add further casual observations. (I will not object if someone wants to bump this thread from page 3 though. wink ) (1a)… More relevant internet link: [http://scienceline.ucsb.edu/getkey.php?key=2346](http://scienceline.ucsb.edu/getkey.php?key=2346) > Like most gasses, carbon dioxide is more soluble in cold water than warm water. That means it is easier to carbonate cold beverages than hot beverages. If you heat up a soft drink, it will start to lose carbonation faster than if you kept it cold. So I say reseal the bottle as fast as possible and keep it cold. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/does-a-bottle-of-soda-go-flat-faster-if-refrigerated/1007668)._
