Before we go, here’s your random trivia of the day:
In 1985, Coca-Cola became the first soda in space. However, sodas in space did not become “a thing” due to the fact that, sans gravity, carbon dioxide bubbles don’t rush to the top of a drink, meaning more of the gas bubbles are consumed by the astronaut. This results in an astronaut’s need to burp more – which is normally not a big deal. However, in space, gases and liquids don’t separate in the digestive system, so burps are wet and feel a lot like acid reflux.
