I submit this paper to be reviewed by my peers and fellow duders. I decided to conduct some science concerning this claim that spinning a shaken soda can on a surface will prevent it from exploding it's contents everywhere.

My test: I used three different cans of 355ml Pepsi for this experiment. They all came from the same pack of 12 and were refrigerated for roughly 6 hours on the same spot of my fridge.

-The base level: All the other cans in the pack of 12 were fine and exhibited no abnormal fizzy behavior.

-The first can was shaken thoroughly for 10 seconds and then promptly opened. This can exploded into the expected sticky mess. I was able to salvage half of it's contents for consumption.

-The second can was shaken thoroughly for 10 seconds then put on a flat surface and rotated clockwise 10 times, this took about 6 seconds. The can opened to a slight fizz, but absolutely no liquid was lost.

-The third can was shaken thoroughly for 10 seconds and then put on a flat surface to lay there without input for 10 seconds. The can opened without any violent fizzy behavior.

In conclusion? Unfortunately, Inconclusive. I believe the common factor here is that the soda can has time to rest after being shaken, along with modern bottling techniques.. this likely expedites the process of going back to a baseline inert state. More testing would be needed, but I'm not going to spend the next 2 weeks shaking every can of pop I come across, my job here is done!
