i wonder who figured out that if you tap a can of beer right before you open it pretty solidly (usually done by slamming your thumb down on it) a few times, that it won't spit foam out all over the place...
and it's also weird how it works, if anything you'd think it'd agitate up more foam, not get rid of what's already there...

I don't know how it works, but it does. Sounds like a suggestion for mythbusters?

yea, not a whole ep thing, but one of the side bits they show in between the big stuff. Would be nice to see the science behind it.

OK try this....
If you are at a Keg party...and the beer is foamy.
take your finger, and rub it on the side of your nose, then swish it in your beer....walla
foam gone in about 3 seconds........
It works from the oil from your skin braking up the foam.............

I've never even heard of that. Guess I don't drink enough canned beer.
Interesting, though, and I believe you guys that it works.

Yes. Also works on soda. I usually wipe around my temples.

Yeah Ben is right rub your temple so people dont think you just picked your nose and rubbed it in your beer.....cause you like salt beer or something....LOL
go with the slow temple rub like you are in deep thought.............
then swish it around the foam, and slam it, and go back for more......:p

This also works great with party-balls (beer-balls). People have actually tried to tell me that this doesn't work works. Then when I show them the foam 'thizz' away.....it's like....wowwww lol.
As for tapping the can...it definitely helps. I've become sick of cans, and usually get bottles...but...there are definitely times when a 30 rack or two is perfect...

Yes. All us glass bottle folks out there can't forget the usefullness of cans. To me, canned beer is like the camping or travel version of regular beer. When I sit at home sipping a cold one, it's allways in glass, but if I'm heading to the beach, or out fishing, it's cans all the way. I can crush each can and viola, dun deal. With bottles, I'd be dragging a trash bag all over the place.

I drink too much beer. Actually wait, what am I saying? I love beer. Anyway, I don't typically drink out of cans unless it is someone elses beer, or it's a good beer out of a can. (Which lucky for me a local brewery cans dank beer for those river trips)...anyway...I have done that oil on your face trick, like when you're trying to conceal your beer in a water bottle...gets super duper foamy. Hate that shit.

Water that looks like piss eh? LOL...sometimes when my friends are driving...they'll put a can of beer in a Dunkin' Donuts Iced coffee plastic container with a white foam container over that, and the straw goes in the can. I don't do it, because sucking beer out of a straw isn't the way I like to enjoy my beer lol.

Well I have hot pink nalgene water bottle so everything looks weird in it anyway.

LMAO, I was thinking the same thing about the water bottle. I can see it being another color, but a clear bottle would indeed look like you're sipping on some hot foamy pee.

"Hey bartender how 'bout a beer and a shot of oil secreted from your skin?" Mmmmm, yummy.
