Is it just me or is soda pop not fizzy anymore?

I stopped drinking all sodas 10+ years ago, so no carbonated stuff for me, but my son got a Soda Stream for Christmas. You want carbonated, grab one of those and you can make anything fizzy.

Just add a Mentos put the cap back on and shake it up really good it will get its fizz back LOL (actually no don't do this)

Hmm. Everything you listed is a diet beverage. Perhaps it has to do with how artificial sweeteners affect the gas solubility.

Nothing like a nice cold Coke in a glass bottle. Ever notice how the commercials always show a glass bottle, but they are rarely sold that way anymore?

Coke in glass bottles is best! Really any soda is better from glass. Here in southern middle TN you can still get SunDrop in a glass bottle and it's awesome. When I was younger every gas station sold cold drinks in glass bottles. They were the fat squatty 16oz. bottles and that was the best Dr Pepper I've ever had.

Coke in a glass and bottled in Mexico is best, lightly chilled...
Your location is listed as Netherworld, so if that's Netherlands it might be tough to get Mexican Coke

It seems like just as soon as you poor it from the can and it hits your glass it goes flat. When I was a kid, soda would continue to bubble and fizz. You could listen to it like Rice Krispies. Seems like the last couple of years, soda went flat.

Sodas I've tried.

Diet Coke. Flat and sweet. It's been tasting like New Coke. It used to be my favorite. I noticed the last couple of years it just keeps getting flatter.
Diet Pepsi. Same as Diet Coke but even flatter and sweeter. Yuck!
Diet Dr Pepper. Flat and tastes like medicine. Blech!
Coke Zero. Best of the ones I've tried but still not as fizzy as I remember.
