Can Fizzy Drink Put Out a Fire?

Can a fizzy drink help extinguish fire? Chinese firefighters find out.

Yes, coke can put out fire because it contains carbon dioxide (which makes the drink fizzy) serving as an inhibitor for combustion. But it's always better to use a traditional extinguisher and call the firefighters.
