Probably didn’t learn it from YouTube and it’s not exactly cooking related either but tapping the lid of a carbonated drink can before opening it does absolutely nothing.
What actually reduces the fizz explosion you’re trying to prevent is tapping the side of the can multiple times while rotating it so that the bubbles stuck to the inside of the can rise to the surface.
It was sort of proven more than 40 years ago that there’s no point to do any of these rituals. You’re just have to wait for the gas to reabsorb. The tapping rituals basically give time for that to happen and act as a placebo for the person so time can elapse.
The time spent tapping gently gives the carbonation time to settle back in.
Penn and Teller did a little magic explained video on “transferring” the explosion from one can to the other. You spend thirty seconds waving a wand around so the shaken can settles before opening it gently, then violently pop the other can while giving it a squeeze.
