I never understood why people did that, really.

TLC Cooking "Why do people tap on soda cans before opening them?" (http://recipes.howstuffworks.com/question602.htm)

Though I just do it automatically even if it's been sitting still for hours.

If I've dropped it or suspect someone of shaking the can up, yes. My personal results speak for themselves.

If it's just been shaken up, sure. Though I'll also try to let it sit for a few minutes, just in case.

Always. Always rinse the tops in water too.

Not with serious intent. Of course I'll still do it with people around just because it makes a great Scrubs reference.

I thought you meant tapping on them to be musical. I do that, but I don't tap on it to stop the fizz or whatever the topic is actually about :D

I always tap on soda cans and beer cans before opening them. It's just become this unnecessary habit of mine xD

..I don't understand the question; why would people tap a can of coke or whatever?

Rantz

I'd tap that. :jokey:

I do it out of reflex..I didn't even know that there was a reason behind it!

Yup, its mostly out of habit.

Yeah.. pressure does not go away by tapping things.

I do it. I used to do it if the can got shaken but now I do it without realizing it. I even do it to bottles. I have a callous on the side of my thumb from it 'cause I drink ALOT of soda.

I started when I was little without understanding why anyone ever did it 'cause my mom did it all the time. I didn't understand the meaning of it for a looong time afterward xD

yeah i saw that :bou::bou::bou::bou: on food science, tapping on the side does more than tapping on the top. keep that in your brain friends.
