why does a beer go flat/explode if I shake it, but it is driven in big shake trucks and is fine?

You ever seen one of those trucks drive? They are bouncing up and down the whole way. But if I even transport a beer in my pocket shit is done

What do you mean it’s done? If you dropped one or shook it REALLY badly just leave it alone for a few minutes. The CO2 will reabsorb into the liquid as long as the pressure is there.

If it’s just shaken a bit from you walking, that really shouldn’t be enough to alter the flavour enough to matter.

Long story short. It’s all about the pressure inside the can/bottle.
