Testing Soda Gadgets by Request!

- Today I'm testing out several soda gadgets that I've had requests for over the years, plus a bonus soda gadget I found on clearance at an As Seen on TV store. Regarding the first dispenser, you could probably get it to dispense the remaining soda below the spout line if you were to shake or squeeze the bottle, although that's not a very elegant solution.

#soda #drinks #gadgets - Jak na to + styl
For that can pump it seems like you should keep pumping until you feel the air build up and you can't pump it any longer. Three to four pumps like the package said doesn't seem right since it would depend on how much soda was left in the can and how much air space needed to be filled.
The only reason it works is because it seals the can. I'm pretty sure pumping the air doesn't do anything to preserve the fizz.
The carbonation level is based on the partial pressure of CO2. The partial pressure of CO2 is independent from the pressure of air. If anything, the pressurized air will make the product go bad faster because there's more oxygen to react with the chemicals in the food.
For what it's worth, Google agrees with me.
Also for what it's worth, I'm a chemist with a minor in physics.
It's actually been proven that these things actually make your drink less carbonated. The air it pushes in to create the pressure actually pushes out the carbonation from the liquid, and you lose more when you break the seal.
Yeah it's bizarre that the instructions say 3-4 times
@@ddegn it depends, if you only drink a few sips it really wouldn't do much, but carbon does seep out into air, which is why a 2L bottle will get firm again if you pour some of it out and reclose it. It takes a while but any pressure not left in the plastic bottle will be taken up by gas. (if you shake a 2L while its partly empty you can get this to happen a lot faster too).
I could totally be wrong since I don't know a lot about chemistry tho. I just know that as a kid I'd think it it was fun to shake half filled 2l bottles until they were tight again, release the air, and do it a few times until it was flat since I didn't like too many bubbles.
The grab and pour looks like a gadget they had in the 70's for milk cartons!
I still have my avocado green Handi Holder, I use it for OJ and square cartons, a true 70s throw back to be sure!
@@laurallewien2165we had a pair of goldenrod colored ones, and they were beautifully effective.
That Grab-n-pour they just need for the handles to snap together and they have a winner right there.
only problem is that not all bottles are the same and you need a tight fit for the bottles to not fall
@@arisenspirit They can make one for each brand of soda and print the brand logo on them instead of being white. There is a way for both sides of the handle to come together and snap into a nice sure grip.
Or even just come with one of those velcro handles that some duffle bags have to keep them together comfortably along with being adjustable. I like the simplicity of the gadget
If you'll use the cup to push the lever back and let the soda run down the side of the cup it'll help with the foaminess.
@@barblibrarian I'm an ex fast food worker that worked drive through more than anything else so I learned the hard way to do it that way.
Doesn’t matter, if he tasted the soda, he would have found the soda to be flat, that’s why. You get all the foam, you actually have to own one of those things to know that and I did, the first one leaks just like mine did and they both dispensed flat soda.
Someone was in a pub. 😂😂😂
@@johnmc3862 nope just a fast food drive-thru person for a long time
@@studivan I did own one, and made one myself that held 4 bottles at a time. If your soda was coming out flat you were doing something wrong. First, you want to keep the dispenser and the soda cold (like in the fridge). Cold helps to minimize the foaming, the CO2 stays in solution easier the colder it is. You can't use it immediately after loading (or you have to give it a few good shakes to build pressure. And you absolutely DON'T poke a hole in the top of the bottle, because that will let the soda go flat and prevent proper operation.
I don't know why but I am so triggered when you pull the lever forward lol
Completely agree
Same😂😂
Saaaaaaaaaaame
Ugh, yep.
I was thinking the same thing.
Cringe
My grandma swore by those bottle holders, when the bottle is half full she found it hard to hold and pour because the bottle crumples. Absolutely recommend them for anyone with hand dexterity difficulties just make sure you get one that holds securely around the top rim
If you have hand dexterity/strength problems (especially arthritis), holding the handle clamped together may be difficult or painful. A latch would be nice.
The 2 bottle dispensers would still go flat because of the hole you have to poke in the bottles , I've have a version of the grab in pour for over 12 years and love it , I bought mine at a dollar store for one dollar. I have very weak hands due to injury and it helps me greatly to prevent a dropped bottle and BIG MESS
I was going to say, the grab in pour seems like a disability aid type product.
Also great for the kiddos
I doubt the first two are made for your everyday soda drinking, where the bottle is going to last 3-4 days. Seems pretty clear that they are marketing it for picnics, BBQs, birthday parties, etc. where the whole bottle will be finished before long.
@@FUGP72 Yes but also no, you're both right & wrong
I do agree that those dispensers are great for Small parties though, since we barely finish even half the bottle anyway, i don't see why this wouldn't work
& rest of the Soda, we drink it later, so it's not a terrible product tbh
@@uhm175 The rest of the soda will rapidly go flat. And unless you have a refrigerator with a REALLY tall shelf, you won't be able to put this back in.
Years ago I saw a soda gadget that had a long straw that reached to the bottom of the bottle. You squeezed a lever at the top and the carbonation forced the soda out. Seemed like the best designed dispenser out there. No poking holes in the bottle. I never got one, so would've liked to have seen a review of that one. If anyone has ever had one, let me know what your experience was using it. Thank you James, enjoyed the video! Subbed for several years. 😂
I had one it worked great. I lost it when I moved
That just sounds like you’d run into a bunch of issues as the soda got low. I’m not exactly sure how it works though based on your description, maybe the outlet is really low and creates a siphon which might work a lot better
@@monhi64I agree! I think that was one of the reasons I didn't get one. Plus, it didn't have the ability to keep the fizz, which is more important. 😂
@@Howard_Hunter_ Yep, flat soda no good.
For a true comparison of the 2 pump can tops you should've pumped both the same amount. I'm pretty sure the 2nd one worked because you pumped it more than the first. I had these years ago & they always worked great. I just ignored their pump amounts & pumped until the can felt "hard".
Yeah, most other reviews I've seen of it they just pumped it till it seemed like the pressure was at maximum
Who else was triggered by the way he dispensed the soda lol
I was yelling YOURE DOING IT WRONG
nope
Big time!
At first I agreed, but, at 12:22 you can see it already foamed up as its coming out of the spigot. His angle wouldn't have fixed that.
No one
i love that when you're at a picnic/bbq/ outing you would be the guy to swing 2L bottles at ppl heads while talking to them casually.. great minds think alike
You're supposed to push the edge of the glass against the lever, not use your fingers.
THANK YOU - that was bugging the crap out of me that he kept pulling the push flap THROUGH the stream.
He knows. He made a comment during the video about how he was not using the standard / correct way to make filming easier for him.
The first Fizz Saver (or whatever it was) may not have been a dud. You had a huge variable between the two tests that probably was the true difference. The first one you only pumped 4 times, that may not have been enough pressure. The second one you pumped 8 times which probably made the difference. If you redid the test and pumped both 8 times, I would think they would have turned out the same.
I think you are supposed to pump Before you pour
@@lindamasceri505 That makes no sense. These are for saving leftover pop that you didn't drink, why would you open a can then immediately put a saver on it?
@jcee8493 I think they mean after you take it out of the fridge. Like, put it on the open, partially full can, then before you pour out or drink the remaining amount, you pump it. That's what I thought too.
11:30 I got those can toppers as well….I’ve found that you need to pump it _way more_ than just 3-4 times….if you pump it until you can’t pump anymore, it works a lot better! 🥤 🥤
Always enjoy your videos. These have to be some of the silliest and not required gadgets I've ever seen, yet very entertaining to watch. Thanks for sharing!
Those fizzy keepers they don’t re-carbonate. If the drink is still fizzy, it’ll keep it fizzy. And they do work. You gotta pump them until they can’t pump anymore. Sometimes it takes more than three or four.
Edit: i’m glad you tested the other day can.
I agree! I made my own carbonation keeper with a tire nipple installed on the cap and a bicycle pump. Same principle and it worked great! 😂
The compressed air doesn't keep it fizzy. Sealing the container keeps it fizzy. The pressurized air is a gimmick.
The partial pressure of CO2 is independent of the air pressure. The amount of fizziness is dependent only on the partial pressure of CO2. You're wasting your time with compressed air. Just seal the container to keep the CO2 in.
I appreciate your dedication to your craft and enjoy your videos very much!
I used to have a fizz keeper pump cap that fit on the 2 litre bottle and worked very well. But you had to pump it until you really could not pump it anymore. The same must apply to the can fizz keeper which is why the second can, which you pumped 8 times, had more fizz left than the first can. The second bottle dispenser would be ok for a party when you are going to go through the entire bottle. And to reduce the foam, it would help to direct the stream at the side of the glass when filling, not let it go straight down which will result in a ton of foam.
Retest
Do the soda dispensers need the pin hole in the bottle? I would have thought the carbon dioxide escaping the liquid over time would give it enough displacement.
My guess is that there is too much pressure without the hole. I.e. the soda comes shooting out too fast. The hole changes the problem from too much pressure to too little. A better quality valve is probably the solution.
I can see the hole as a last minute fix when they went from a quality hand made one to a cheap mass produced one.
Tilt the glass when dispensing = less foam. You know, like bartenders do when dispensing beer.
i can't help but picture the kids coming home and just going, "DAD!!!! why do we have 5 open bottles of the coke?!?", "why do we have 7 rolls of paper towels tore out?", or "DADDD!!!!! why do we have 2 dozen weird boiled eggs again?!?!?"
Why didn't you till the glass? The quicker the carbonated beverage touches the glas surface and cause less agitation the more liquid you get overall
exactly, the foam is from James using the tap wrong
I thought everyone knew to pour carbonated beverages down the side of a glass instead of in the center.
In case people don't know.... Diet sodas always foam up more when poured/dispensed. Plan accordingly. 🖖🏽
Soda also foams less if you pour it down the side of the cup/glass instead of right in the center.
That’s true - but I can live without any of these😄
You nailed it why you said 'It soles a problem that doesn't exist.'
Then again, without that business model, this channel wouldn't exist.
I have the first one, it's a neat gadget. Soda seems to gush out at first, then dribbles. It looks cool, seems ideal at maybe a Thanksgiving or Christmas Dinner, or like setting, but yeah, it is what it is. The second soda dispenser looks like it was made by the same company. My dispenser came in a box, like one of those "Seen on TV" deals..lol
They are both made by the same company (though not labeled the same). They really aren't designed for high-volume dispensing (like at a party, ect) They are intended to be stored in the fridge to dispense a single glass at a time. They work by using the CO2 outgassing from the soda to build pressure in the top of the bottle and use that pressure to force the soda out. It works pretty great when used how they intended it. The first one is for lower shelves and the second one is for higher shelves where you can hang the spigot off of the edge of the shelf.
I ended up making one myself because I drink (WAY TOO MUCH) soda regularly. It uses 1/2" pvc pipe and thread adapters to hold 6 bottles in a row on the base going to flexible tubing and a spigot on the inside of the door of the fridge. With the pressure generated by 6 bottles, I can dispense two 12oz glasses in a row about as fast as a normal soda fountain before it slows down at all. It holds pressure/carbonation for longer than there is soda in the bottles.
Hey James, I wonder how many caught the opening lol. Welcome back arytheyem lol. Is what it sounded like haha, all good just messin' with ya. Awesome video as always!! 👋🤠
i used to own that first style years ago and doesn't look like they've improved it much since then. the trouble i had was it leaked all the time! we'd put it in the ffridge then if you bumped even slightly it'd start dribbling again and made a big mess in the fridge!
That Grab-N-Pour feels like the epitome of the 'As Seen On TV products are for disable people' theory.
My dude, you are using that soda dispenser wrong. The plastic dispenser is supposed to be pushed in like a pop machine.
He knows that. He explained why he did what he did in the video.
On both those dispensers, I wouldn't poke a hole and just squeeze the bottles, then you could get all the soda out. Also, if you tilted the glass so the soda ran down the side of the inside of the glass, it wouldn't foam as much. When tilting, it would be best to push with the glass rather than pull with your finger. Use on hand to hold and push the glass on the lever and the other to squeeze the bottle.
It uses CO2 pressure to dispense the soda (that hiss you hear when you open the bottle). His problem is he didn't give it time to build pressure (thanks to no instructions in the box). And if he kept the dispenser in the fridge (like it's intended to be used), it doesn't foam up nearly as much.
The first dispenser will always fail at a certain point because the spout will become higher than the volume of liquid in the bottle.
The Can Pump is like a joke right? Mostly because your soda is pressurized with carbon dioxide gas and the air we breathe is mostly nitrogen so you are pumping your can full of nitrogen.
Also for standard soda dispensers you are looking at a PSI to add the carbon dioxide gas to be set to between 75psi to 105psi.
Yes! You are correct, the compressed air doesn't help.
When you tried the can for the second time, you pumped it eight times. I think that had more to do with it.
That's exactly what made the 2nd one successful. I had these years ago, I rarely drink soda anymore, & they worked great. I ignored the packaging pump suggestion & just pumped until the can felt like it did before I opened it.
@@munkustrap2 Good to know 👍
whenever you pour any carbonated beverage into a glass, you tip the glass to get as little foam as possible. In both cases, you did it, in my opinion, awkwardly by pulling the tab with your fingers in the glass. You should tilt the glass while pushing against the tab so the spout is in your glass, not your fingers. Ask any bartender about the tilt.
Immediately I can tell that first one will only dispense until the drink is level with the spout.
While this would be the case with an unpressurized fluid, I believe they are relying on the pressured co2 to force it out. Still, a unreliable product at best.
same, and then i thought do you have to squeeze the bottle to empty it and then he poked a hole in it......fail
I had the fizz savers for a few years. They work well, as someone else pointed out, if you pump it until it’s tight. That 3-4 pumps is just not correct.
After a few years, they ended up a bit warped and stopped working. I think the pumping wears out the softer plastic.
I thought I saw your review on the first one, but the issue why you got such good results was your pulling forward. Pushing your glass against the handle is what creates a tipping point.
Since my country now has a 15 cent deposit on every soda can, that anti dent product would be very handy since the machine needs to read the barcode to give back the change.
The soda dispenser thing i had that idea in high school like 20 years ago. It was a little different but same concept. Glad i didnt drop out of school to dedicate my life to making that
How can you say that the purple fizz keeper didn’t work because it didn’t have as much pressure as the yellow one when the yellow one had double the amount of pumps as the purple?
Exactly...unfair comparison.
That first soda dispenser is a good idea on paper but the practicality it’s just a recipe for a big mess 😂
3:05 ahhh you are a true Optimist sir. lol
Ah, you can tell you've never worked as a bartender. Same concept as draft beer, you have to dispense it correctly.
If you want your drinks to stay fizzy longer just remember two things.
The colder the water, the more carbonation it can hold. The less air space in the container, the less CO2 will diffuse out from the drink.
Had to learn this so I could make my sparkling water extra fierce.
Those dispensers are overkill.
What a fuss for nothing!
I’m glad you have a good cinder block backyard fence, the neighbors might wonder if they saw a man swinging a soda bottle around and talking to himself.😂
I thought this was going to be a test for actual soda machines maybe you can get those machines that make soda and test those for us
The grab & pour seems like one of those things that are ideal for disabled people who can’t hold onto a 2-liter bottle comfortably.
The first 2 would be ok for a picnic as you dont have to keep opening and closing the bottle the pump is good to keep bugs out when used out doors and the last one is great for anyone with a weak wrist or arthritis
See, I’m so picky about the taste of my diet Pepsi, that if it came out that foamy the flavour would be ruined for me. No joke I can taste the difference.
I don't like fountain Diet Coke, so I totally get you. I can tell, too. The taste changes! I personally prefer plastic 12 and 16.9oz bottles.
The bubble would have been bruised.
You need to pour the soda down the side of the glass to keep prevent the soda from losing its fizz. Diet Pepsi is so much better when it burns as it goes down.
the handle is really good for ppl with movement issues and doing fine coordinated movements like pouring
some of these gadgets don't make sense from the perspective of avg users but are perfect for ppl with disabilities
"Now you poke a pinhole..."
I'm sorry, WHAT? That defeats the entire purpose of a soda dispenser... You just lost all pressure, and fizz.
Any soda dispenser (other than mix at nozzles i.e selfseeve fastfood) your supposed to fill on the side of the glass. This reduces foaming.
Even straight out the bottle you dont just pour it stight in.
It's actually been proven that these the soda can sealers actually make your drink less carbonated. The air it pushes in to create the pressure actually pushes out the carbonation from the liquid, and you lose more when you break the seal. The reason you get more foam on the pour is that all the carbonation is escaping, leaving your drink less carbonated.
I know the air doesn't help but I'm not so sure it makes things worse. The partial pressure of CO2 should be the same either way.
Do you remember where you heard the compressed air makes it worse?
@@ddegn the video by the action lab titled
Is The "Fizz Keeper" a scam?
has some of the info and even links to sources in the description.
You did not pump the can lid one the same amount of times. You did 4 first time and 8 with the second one. That might be why one worked better.
Just so you know, compressed air doesn't preserve the fizz. Sealing the can with a good lid would have worked just as well.
The grab n pour is awesome. Thanks! Wish we had one...
I suspect the foam issue is because the bottles were warm/room temperature rather than chilled.
The can savers I think mostly work you just have to press it more than 4 times. Usually press it until you start to feel the resistance while pressing
With the 'Bonus Item,' it would've been better if they provided a lock where the handle meets the bottle so you didn't have to keep gripping the handle so hard, then you could gently pick up the handle after locking it.
You're killing me with pulling the lever the wrong way! I'm jumping outta my skin!
It's worth mentioning that the temperature of the soda matters a lot of difference regarding how much fizz is released. Cold water retains the carbonation better. So if you were using room temperature from the start, that could lead to misleading results.
For the pump you should have also had a control with just a lid/seal over it
But considering the fact that both open and pumped did underperform idk how much the “control” would be needed
The first can sealer he used leaked. This let out the Co2. Compressed air doesn't preserve fizz. Your idea of using a sealed lid would have worked just as well as the one with extra pumps.
If I had to guess the pump one could work based on the amount of soda left. It could just be that the 4 pumps on a half empty can isn't enough to pressurize it but the 8 one was. Also would explain why it pressurized easier on the fresh full can.
It's fascinating to see a grown man senior of my 42 years blaming the gadget for foam creation of a fizzy, sugary drink at room temperature without even considering tilting the vessel.
I had a couple of the can pumps, and they worked for me, but they both broke way too soon, in my opinion. ( the part that went around the top of the can)
Just seal the soda so the CO2 doesn't escape. Compressed air doesn't help.
At the beginning tells us pressing the cup to spout, lifting up the whole time. 😂
I recently watched an episode of GMM where they demonstrated these gadgets. It was quite entertaining :))
A whole cup of foam. 3/5 ⭐️
😂😂
Remind me not to hire you as a bartender who serves beer on tap. hahaha! Just giving you a hard time. Nother great video!
The only one of these I've used is the grab n pour. I bought mine in 2013 and am still using it.
I once has a siphon that used the carbonation of the soda to push the drink out from the top of an upright bottle. Of course, the ability for it to work relied upon a lot of carbonation, so the effect would dampen the more soda poured out of the bottle. I don't even know if I have it anymore, but it was likely the poor performance once the soda bottle was mostly empty that made me stop using it. At least it didn't have the same engineering problems of these units!
your NOT pouring my beer if you doooooooon't know how to do it without a head....tilt the damn glass....geeeez louise
no need to poke a hole in the second dispenser, it works with the pressure and the pin is only for non fizzy drinks, I am using number 2 only for non dizzy drinks actually, too foamy and has less fizziness this way
The fizz keeper, will create pressure in the can. However it cannot keep the carbonation in the beverage. The amount of gas dissolved in a liquid is proportional to the partial pressure of that specific gas contained above the liquid. If you're not adding carbon dioxide into the system, it wont keep carbonation. And the correct control, would be to seal the one can and use the product.
The dispensers were both useless but the can lids and the bottle holder seems to be alright. I have never not finished a can of pop but my wife will have a sip of one and then put the can back in the fridge. I think I am going to see if I can order some. Thanks for the video.
Not really, they're useful for small parties
I had dispenser #1
I got it on eBay.
It was terrible!
In the process of dispensing it foams up the soda so much, by the time your glass is filled almost all the carbonation is gone and your soda is flat.
I tossed it after using it with one 2L bottle!
Him not even bothering to try the push feature on the 2L bottle gadgets was infuriating. Would have made it so much easier than having to pull it out of the drinks foam constantly
lol the bonus footage
The levers to dispense the soda on the first 2 seem like they're supposed to be pushed, not pulled. In that sense, it's similar to a soda fountain.
I wonder how those dispensers work if you don't poke a hole in the bottle. I know they are gravity fed and probably have too little of a hole for the soda to come out any faster than when a full bottle is on it. I know you poke a hole to help force it out with air coming into the bottle. I think the only real use for them is at a family or friend gathering or party where the bottle will be used in the same day.
The bottle only lets air in...technically, without the hole, they would be pressure-driven...closer to how a normal soda fountain works. Hell, that first one would probably drain entirely, without the hole, as the pressure in the bottle, would be able to force out the entirety of the liquid contents.
I am curious about the soda stream and how that works.... Thanks for the reviews.
I have the first one. Got it from, remember wish? Lol. Had it for years!!! Still in the wrapper.
😂 years, n still in the wrapper 😂
Ah yes I'm gonna properly recarbonate my soda by.. pushing air into it? Sounds cool.
For the can seal pump …Try a little smidgen of veg oil on the tip of your finger and run your finger around the seal.
Then click shut.
Pump until significant pressure is felt; don limit to 4 pumps.
It’s still better than simply placing the open can into the fridge uncovered imho.
Pumping air into a can will not stop it from going flat, lots of videos out there explaining this better then I can.
Am I the only one that loves foam and seeing it fill the cup of almost all foam was super satisfying?
I think part of the problem with the pump is that the more soda is out of the can the more air you need to replace. Its ALSO totally possible there is a leak, but it might not hurt to pump a decent amount of air, not just the 3-4 pumps. Maybe closer to 8-10 if you have only half a can or less left?
Basically the added air makes it impossible for the carbon to seep out, so if you don't have enough in there, even an air tight seal wont keep it from going flat. Its the same reason that soda in a plastic bottle will go flat even when closed up! If you even have a small amount of soda in a 2 litter, it'll go flat super fast thanks to all the space, and if you only pour like a cup or two it'll stay pretty fresh- there's still not a ton of room for the gas to go.
Keep this all in mind if anyone here wants to buy a pump. If it doesn't seem like its leaking air, try more pumps of air next time to help keep the carbon in the soda.
I started taking shots everytime "foam" was said. I died today 😉
Always an entertaining review. I can not use any of these items, but I enjoyed the show. I like Iced Tea and that is not carbonated.
4:28 "very foamy" my guy that is 100% foam😂
I usually walk around the BBQ with a 2 liter of soda instead of a beer and it's always awkward to hold on to for long periods of time. I think that handle is just the thing I need, too bad it doesn't have a belt clip integrated into it.
So glad you tried again with 8 pumps instead of 4!
Yeah, but in doing so he really can't say the first one was broken. That wasn't an accurate comparison. I knew when he pumped so few times on the first try it was going to fail. I had these years ago & they worked great if pumped until the can was "full".
@@munkustrap2 Google *"Does air pressure prevent soda from going flat?"*
It doesn't.
The first two, straight to the boneyard.
Whoever designed those dispenser thing, doesn't understand science. More hassle than anything else as well.
LOL, Linkin Park!
Love your reviews, James!
If you paid attention to the valve mechanism on the first dispenser, you would have seen that it works for both orientations of the push-bar. It's designed like that on purpose, so you can either push the cup against it from the bottom, or pull it towards you with your hand on top.
You were using it incorrectly and awkwardly.
That first soda dispenser would work better if you poked a hole on the bottom (top once inverted) to allow the pressure to regulate.
I'm honestly surprised people but 2 litres at all. They seem to go flat incredibly fast if I don't drink the whole darn thing in one night. I'm all about them cans.
They’re more for when you’ve got multiple people drinking. Like at a party. Tho they also tend to be a lot cheaper.
What you need to do is use the can pump on the bottom of the 2L to pressurize the 2L. This will keep the soda from going flat and force all the soda out of the goose neck dispenser!
if they made a size that fits that could be cool, sadly the shape of the can pump won't make a good seal over the bottom of the 2L. (since the pump is indented, the actual pump can't push flat over the plastic. 2L bottoms aren't flat either so that ruins the idea as well)
I feel like you should be shaking the soda bottles so they pour properly when they are empty. The spouts rely on the air pressure from the carbonation being released into the bottle. The idea is to keep the pressure in the bottle high enough that it pushes the soda out of the spout.
Push it in with the cup and tilt the glass!! Have you never poured a beer?!?! Geez man!!!
