OK, this is an odd thought. Probably belongs elsewhere but the knowledge to answer it is probably here. If the mods decide to move let me know where you move it to.
So regular beer/soda is carbonated by dissolving CO2 in water. But there are a few beers that are fizzed with Nitrogen (fizzed just sounds better than calling it carbonated without carbon). So that got me thinking. Could you get a fizzy drink with Helium infusion like you can with Nitrogen or CO2? I suspect the biggest downfall will be Helium is a fast gas, so the drink would go flat rather fast. Anyone ever play with this?
Yea, not your normal decompression question. But hopefully you can see why I asked it here.
