So if I pour myself a beer, and it has a lot of head on it, the head will go away almost instantly if I place my finger in my ear just ever so slightly, not even thinking I even got earwax on it, and then place it into the beer. It doesn’t go down by just sticking my finger in there, and I obviously don’t need a lot of earwax to do it, so how does it work? Is this one of those things man was never meant to know? Like piss shivers?
It’s not the foam, it’s the grease. Skin oils on your finger eat thru foam like crazy. Skip the ear, that’s just gross. I rub my finger along my nose first, which is slightly less gross.
ick you two!
::rushes off to experiment::
For less grossness, skip both ear and nose. Use a potato chip. Much more hygenic.
More than you ever needed to know about the physics of beer foam.
Interesting…I think I’ll switch to that chip idea…
(I actually just did the ear thing once after seeing a friend of mine do it with every beer he ever has that gets poured into a cup. I always said it was gross, but I wanted to try it once to see what would happen.)
Really any sort of oil will do to weaken the surface tension and kill the foam. Even the oils from a tiny pinch of black pepper is sufficient.
What if I pour beer in my ear?
Then you probably have a drinking problem.
What if I have tears in my beer AND in my ears, from lying on my back in the bar crying over you?
Then you probably have a country music problem.
Ever thought about learning to pour a beer properly?
A light shake of salt will do the same thing.
For the opposite problem, a gum wrapper or cigarette paper.
(Dip in silver paper when their pints go flat, how about that, far out man! - PW)
That wouldn’t work with soda too, would it?
The gum wrapper, I mean.
He never got over Macho Grande.
