	~~'''Fizz-Keeper''' is a~~ device ~~designed~~ to ~~maintain the~~ carbonation in soft drinks stored in plastic bottles. The invention addresses the common issue of carbonated beverages losing their fizz once the bottle is opened and not consumed entirely. The Fizz-Keeper is a pump mechanism that re-pressurizes the air in soft drink bottles, slowing down the release of carbon dioxide (CO2) from the liquid.		{{Short description\|A device used to preserve carbonation in soft drinks}}

	==~~Functionality~~==		== Fizz-Keeper ==
	The Fizz-Keeper ~~works by manually pumping air into~~ a ~~sealed plastic bottle, increasing~~ the ~~pressure inside~~ the bottle. ~~This increased pressure helps keep the CO2 dissolved in the liquid, preventing the gas from escaping~~ and ~~the drink from going flat. The device typically consists of~~ a ~~cap~~ that ~~fits onto~~ the ~~bottle's opening~~, ~~with a built-~~in ~~pump mechanism~~.		The '''Fizz-Keeper''' is a device designed to maintain the carbonation in [[soft drinks]] after the bottle has been opened. It is typically used with [[plastic bottle\|plastic bottles]] and works by creating a seal that prevents the escape of [[carbon dioxide]] gas, which is responsible for the fizz in carbonated beverages.

	~~==History==~~		[[File:Fizz_Keeper.JPG\|thumb\|right\|A Fizz-Keeper attached to a plastic bottle]]
	~~The~~ Fizz-Keeper ~~was introduced~~ to ~~the market in the late 20th century as~~ a solution for preserving the carbonation in soft drinks. Its invention is attributed to several inventors, with patents detailing variations of the device aimed at improving its efficiency and usability.

	==~~Scientific Basis~~==		=== Design and Function ===
	The ~~principle behind the~~ Fizz-Keeper~~'s functionality~~ is ~~Henry's Law, which states~~ that the ~~amount~~ of ~~dissolved gas in~~ a ~~liquid is proportional~~ to the ~~pressure of the gas above the liquid~~. ~~By increasing the air~~ pressure ~~inside~~ the ~~bottle, the Fizz-Keeper helps maintain a higher concentration of CO2~~ in the ~~beverage~~, ~~thus~~ preserving ~~its fizziness~~.		The Fizz-Keeper is usually made of [[plastic]] and consists of a cap that fits onto the top of a standard plastic bottle. It includes a pump mechanism that allows the user to manually pressurize the bottle by pumping air into it. This added pressure helps to keep the carbon dioxide dissolved in the liquid, thereby preserving the drink's carbonation.

	~~==Criticism and Effectiveness==~~		The device is simple to use: after pouring a desired amount of the beverage, the user attaches the Fizz-Keeper to the bottle and pumps it several times. This process increases the internal pressure of the bottle, which helps to prevent the carbon dioxide from escaping.
	~~While~~ the Fizz-Keeper ~~has been popular among consumers looking~~ to ~~extend~~ the ~~shelf life~~ of ~~carbonated drinks, its effectiveness has been a subject of debate. Critics argue that simply pumping air~~, which ~~is mostly nitrogen and oxygen, into the bottle does not significantly~~ prevent the ~~CO2~~ from escaping~~. Scientific experiments have shown mixed results regarding the device's ability to maintain carbonation levels over extended periods~~.

	==~~Market Impact~~==		=== Benefits ===
	~~Despite the debate over its effectiveness, the~~ Fizz-Keeper ~~has made a notable impact on~~ the ~~market~~, ~~with various models~~ and ~~patents filed~~ for ~~improvements on the original design~~. ~~It remains a popular accessory among consumers~~ who ~~frequently~~ consume ~~carbonated beverages but do not finish them in one sitting~~.		The primary benefit of using a Fizz-Keeper is the extension of the beverage's shelf life after opening. By maintaining carbonation, the drink retains its original taste and texture for a longer period. This can be particularly useful for individuals who consume soft drinks infrequently and wish to avoid waste.

	==~~See Also~~==		=== Limitations ===
			While the Fizz-Keeper can be effective in preserving carbonation, it is not a perfect solution. Over time, some gas may still escape, and the drink may eventually lose its fizz. Additionally, the device is only compatible with certain types of bottles, typically those made of plastic with a standard screw-top design.
