Tapping on soda cans.

Do you do it?

I'll do it if I like just dropped it or something.

Nope, just open them.

I do it sometimes to look like I'm cool.

I never understood why people did that, really.

TLC Cooking "Why do people tap on soda cans before opening them?"

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

Huh.

Well, you learn something new every day.

No, no I do not.

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.

I just hold it away from me

I will just open it, what will happen will happen. :(

I open them with my mouth, usually. :O That way if there's any spewage, it's not wasted :}

Always. Always rinse the tops in water too.

Owwf, my teeeffsh.

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

I gots mighty strong teef. :sebastian:

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?

I'd tap that. :jokey:

WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT UGH

you lose carbonation when you do that

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

Yup, its mostly out of habit.

nope :p

All you tappers are crazy.

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

Pansies.

I do so like the sounds the can makes because of my tappings. :D

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.
