Genius Corner answer

Here is the answer to last week’s brainteaser: Soda manufacturers often bottle under high pressure because more gas will dissolve in a cold liquid under high pressure than in a warm liquid not under pressure. The bubbles in such drinks not only provide fizz but also change the flavor of the drink. The carbon dioxide in the soda forms carbonic acid, which alleviates the sweet taste of the drink. For this reason, flat soda oftentimes tastes much sweeter than when it’s carbonated. No one submitted the right answer. Stay tuned for next week’s brainteaser.
