The cobblestone roads shook up all the drinks I was carrying home on my bike 😠
Two nuns are riding their bikes back to the convent.
One nun says to the other, “I don’t think I’ve ever come this way before.”
And the other one says, “It's the cobblestones.”
It seems the solution to all your problems are:
Ha! I needed baguettes, got two and tossed them in the bike basket, feeling so European, until one loaf bounced out and was run over by a car, at which point I felt oh so American!
somebody crusha ma baguette 🐭😡
American here. I have seen plenty of roadkill in my lifetime, but none of it was ever a baguette.
In my experience the roadkill is way more likely to be the cyclist. You really can't ride a bike where I live.
Cool them down and let settle before opening. Should help.
Shaking does not affect this the way you think it does. You'll be fine as long as you wait like 10-60 seconds after shaking vigorously. The liquid and gas pressure inside will reach equilibrium, and no matter how much shaking you do, it won't degas further.
Also, keep in mind that it's mostly temperature and surface area that causes soda to degas (fall out of solution).
Fun fact: this is why paper straws are inferior to plastic straws for drinking soda, because paper is insanely more porous than plastic, and causes rapid degassing of the soda inside of the straw, rather than in your mouth, throat, and stomach. (There are other reasons, too, but this one is often not considered by most people)
Carry metal straws. They're awesome
This is why you need aomwthing with tank treads. Like a tank for example
Stupid part is that I can't ride a tank around here with all the tank-hostile architecture 😠 They got these triangular tank obstacles scattered around everywhere, it's so inconvenient!

Op didn't say if they were in Germany or not.
Or just say you're feeling like Poland and tanks will appear
Would have been fine if you bought real food/drink.
How would padding it with vegetables have helped? Would seltzer water have been less shaken up?
Shaming someone biking to and from the store for getting zero calorie soda is ridiculous. Post the contents of your last trip to the grocery store. Made on foot or bike I’m sure, right?
To be clear, even if the answer to that was yes and you eat nothing but ‘health food’ it wouldn’t give you the right to sneer at what other people eat and drink.
nah they're right, I eat like shit
Hats off to those who recognize their own bad habits.
Although really, in terms of bad habits, this is relatively minor.
Still doesn’t give anyone a reason to be an ass about it. Nobody has a perfect diet and habits without having an eating disorder.
Although, it is also bad for beer.
Now that's an argument!! Gotta get a little trolley for my beer trips
Sometimes people want some nice snacks and shizz
nice drinks don't support an Apartheid genocide
Hmm?
coca cola has illegal Israeli bottling plants in the west bank.
huh, that is good to know. Another reason to just get the store brand next time
TIL
As someone who's lived on a cobblestone street before, it's nice to look at, but a lot less functional than asphalt or concrete. Especially trying to walk home from the bar with a few drinks in you.
They're apparently also pretty good for slowing down cars in pedestrian-heavy areas, but yeah, taking a fall on those after a few drinks does hurt like shit haha
I don't live in Europe, but I've heard horror stories about how slippery those streets get in the rain
Can confirm, having worked food delivery in the Netherlands.
There's a really good reason they're only used on low speed streets and squares, and now large roads.
On the pro side, if done well, they outlast every tar road by centuries.
It also makes blisters on your feet hurt A LOT (probably not a problem for most people, but I have a condition that makes me blister a lot more :( it's ruined so many trips that I would have otherwise enjoyed)
I was very fortunate to go on a vacation last month in Belgium where we rode bikes to several different towns.
It was awesome, but the cobblestone streets in some of those old cities are ROUGH. Just bone shaking. The chain on the bike I was riding bounced off once when I needed to shift.
The worst part is becoming accustomed to fresh, high-quality food and espresso within 100m of every human at all times.
Also, OP, why are you having "American Breakfast"? Where's your croissant?
If that's the worst part you're having a goddamn amazing time.
Maybe you should put something to dampen that. Like bubble wrap, newspapers, stuffed animals?
As long as they’re hot they shouldn’t pop. The fizzing over should only happen when it’s cold.
