Reply to comment by magnets_are_strange in If you froze soda for a year, would be still fizz when thawed out? by The_Grand_Canyon
Oop, I always forget that it’s opposite for dissolved gasses as for dissolved solids/liquids, but yes you’re right!

I’m surprised no one has answered yet. Carbonation in soda is caused by the liquid being saturated in carbon dioxide gas. If the liquid freezes into a solid ice matrix then the gas will no longer be dissolved (solubility decreases as the liquid gets colder, and eventually once it becomes ice there’s no way for a gas to stay dissolved in a solid) and your soda will go flat.
I think this was the essence of your question — but it does get more complicated if you assume the container remains a closed system (ie the soda freezes but the bottle doesn’t explode). Then the gas will separate from the soda when it freezes but will stay trapped in the bottle. Once the soda is thawed back into a liquid, some of the trapped gas will likely go back into solution, but it’s unlikely it’ll be as carbonated as before freezing

The original Dukes in Dupont has been open for at least the past year or so (maybe longer) but closed again recently for renovations
