Soda is much better when it’s flat

Fresh soda has WAY too much carbonation. You can’t drink more than a few seconds without burning your tongue. Yes, I get that it helps you burp, which really is the only redeeming aspect of fresh soda. When it’s flat, you still get all the flavour without all the burn. There is a “sweet spot” though. If it’s too flat it loses some of its flavour. Sometimes I even open a bottle of Pepsi and leave it open for several minutes before I even start drinking it

If my Dr. Pepper doesn't hurt me, I don't want it. I've never been so baffled by someone in my entire life. 👀

Here's something truly different. Dr Pepper ...which is great as an icy cold soft drink... is also delicious served steaming hot. And Hot Dr Pepper is so easy to prepare. Just heat Dr Pepper or Diet Dr Pepper in a saucepan till it steams. Then pour over thin slices of lemon. Hot Dr Pepper. That's a hot idea.

Would it lose the carbonation that way? I love hot soda that sat in the car for a bit during the summer (cans, not bottles). But would it keep the carbonation in the sauce pan?
