Attention! Very important science: Tapping a can of fizzy beer does... absolutely nothing

Re: So many flaws

Main flaw I noticed is the experiment introduced too many variables. Cans should have been shaken by a carefully* designed mechanism, then precisely* tapped by a mechanical finger to produce consistent* results.

Which of course would require inviting the engineering department to participate. Which has the added advantage of ensuring the liquids used in the experiment are safely disposed of.

*Ish. Fair play to Carlsberg for their participation. Also note that the optimal way to deliver 1,000 cans of beer is in 42 slabs of 24. Thus proving that beer is the answer to life, the universe and science..
