Yahoo Answers Adventures: Flying with Soft Drink

  • This time, one of our most absurd questions of all time. The first we've been told not to reproduce because of our stupidity, a feat which has made us quite proud.
  • Us: I've worked out how humans can fly! What do you think!? I've always wanted to fly. I was thinking, you know how in the movies, if you attach enough balloons to yourself, you fly, right? I was thinking, if you drank enough bubbly soft drinks, such as lemonade, the bubbles in your stomach would lift you off the ground, right? How much would I need to drink so I can fly or hover about a metre off the ground. I'm about average weight. Thanks a heap.
  • Response: That's the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard
  • Response: See, somehow if this were possible i don't think Boeing & Airbus would plow Millions or even Billions in to producing their aircraft.Your innards would probably explode from the pressure or you would have some sort of poisoning or something medically wrong long before you even start to produce any kind of lift.
  • Response: Oh dear! Please don't reproduce.
  • Response: there is a reason for natural selection...
  • Response: You'd have to drink more than you could possibly hold. The reason is that you have a limited space for intake, and even if that was filled with only air, or even helium, the mass of your solid body parts (bones, muscles, fat, skin, etc.) is more than enough to hold you down to earth.
  • Response: i fly all the time like to come on my back
  • Response: The lemonade I drink isn't carbonated...
  • Response: lol
  • Response: that wudnt work.sorry
  • Response: This sounds like an idea for Mythbusters.
