I once had an ingenius little pump made specifically to replace the screw-on bottle cap. By pumping air into the empty space, the bottle was re-pressurized and the gas was kept from escaping. I haven't seen one of those since mine went missing and I was hoping to find a cheap way for multiple bottles. My fridge is full of a variety of flavours all openned and partiaIly consumed. With the party over, and company gone after the holidays, the "pop" will be flat before I can finish them. Recently I've tried to make soft drinks last longer in the fridge by squeezing the air out of the large openned (2 litre) plastic bottles. I reasoned that If the level of the carbonated soft drink inside comes up near the top where the original level was before it was opened, and as long as the cap was screwed back on tight, then the gas would have nowhere escape to. That theory doesn't seem to work as well as the old pump. Perhaps because the thin plastic in modern bottles blows back out? Any ideas?
