This is adapted from my experience pouring beers at the bar. One thing I learnt was that the bigger the distance between the cup and the spout, the more agitated the drink gets and hence, the more foam gets created. This helps in created a "head" for beers but in the case of normal soft drinks, it can be used to pour something without much foam.

 

All you have to do is tilt the cup around 45 degrees and pour so that the soft drink cascades down the side of the cup. If, for some reason you wanted some foam for say, a beer, slowly tilt the cup upright once you've reached halfway.

 

Enjoy!

There are people that don't know how to pour down the side of a glass?

I do, but I still "pour too aggressively" according to my boyfriend.

 

I'm fine with smaller bottles and cans, but I have a harder time holding and pouring from large bottles because I'm small and weak, and I always end up pouring like an idiot.

I managed to spill a sippy cup multiple times in recent history

As soon as there's ice involved, it doesn't matter too much.

Hey, you're not alone. When I was in high school, my mom bought all of my friends sippy cups for Christmas and wrote their names on them so they would stop spilling their drinks on the carpet.

 

It didn't help. We no longer have carpet downstairs.

I just remember something. My soda is hardly frothy when it's taking out of the fridge. Doesn't cooling it reduce the fizziness during pouring in general (along with adding ice)?

Don't disown me I still have a lot of talent in me to make up for it.

Or you could just open your soda, leave it on the table for 3 days, and then pour it. LOOK NO BUBBLES.

You're welcome.

They were drunk, though

Cold soda can hold less CO2 in solution, so if you refrigerate it uncapped (or with a lot of air in the capped bottle) the gas will precipitate out of the soda as it cools. This will make it less fizzy.

If it's capped as it cools, and there's not much gas-space for the CO2 to go into, the pressure will keep the gas in solution until it is opened. This means that a cold soda will fizz more when you open it than a warm one would, but ultimately end up less fizzy.

That's exactly what I was going to say. It seems so obvious to me.

 

Then again I was also a bartender for a while (that was so long ago now tho) so I know these little tricks.
