If, in an attempt to have ginger soda which actually contains noticeable amounts of ginger, one opens a two-liter bottle of ginger ale and drops in a bit of candied ginger, the ginger ale will foam in a most impressive manner, more than if one had vigorously shaken the bottle. If one happens to not have the bottle of ginger ale over a sink, this will make a rather large mess.

How about that! New knowledge! Whee!

*changes clothing*

ETA: if, on the other hand, one makes sure there's enough room in the bottle (or glass) to allow significant fizzing, this works just fine and tastes very good. Assuming one likes ginger, anyway.

Yep.

Sugar crystals form nucleii for the CO2 bubbles. You get fizz!

Ice cream soda does the same thing. (7-Up and vanilla or black cherry vanilla ice cream.)

Now I want an ice cream soda. But have neither ice cream, nor soda.
