Wow so many different answers to this question and a lot sound like they could possibly be correct. So tonight I’m going to test the cold beverage theory. Will poring cold soda into my tumbler full of ice result in less fizz bubbles. Up until now I’ve only pored warm soda into the ice fill receptacle.
I will also test the suggestion to used watery ice instead of the cold dry ice right out of the freezer. Will the watery warmer ice result in less fizz. I will use my warm soda along with watery ice to see if I get a different result.

I’ve found that volatile fizzing is usually caused by warm temps. Either the soda bottle was warm or the glass cup (which retains more heat than a paper cup) is relativity warm.
The amount of carbonation that the soda can hold is (at least partially) dictated by temperature. If the soda is carbonated at a cold temperature (for max carbonation) then the rapid warming from your glass will cause that carbonation to fizz out rapidly.
