For a school science fair last year, my friend and I studied the effect of temperature on carbonation. We used 30 bottles of 12oz. coke and 30 bottles of 12oz. Pepsi.

We then placed small balloons over the tops, opened the bottles, and measured the size of the balloon every 30 seconds, three times.
Here were our average results:
Soda: Pepsi
Temperature: Warm
30 Seconds: 12.85cm
60 Seconds: 12.03cm
90 Seconds: 11.65cm
Soda: Pepsi
Temperature: Cold
30 Seconds: 14.5cm
60 Seconds: 14.65cm
