Ive got Mt. Dew in 2 liter bottles that are over a year old, and are
still as fizzy as the day I bought them.

Course..I didnt put a pressure gage on them for a true scientific

Some may be better than others I guess.

Google: +permeability +"plastic bottles"

for lots of references to what I was bitching about.

Course there's also the possibility that the lids weren't screwed on
tightly enough when the stuff was bottled, or maybe the "gaskeet
material" wasn't what it should be.
