Burping !!
Did you know that cows burp?! Every year the cows in the US burp about 50 million tons of valuable gases into the atmosphere. The burps of ten average cows could keep a small house heated for a year. That's pretty darn cool! When we burp, it's the sound of gas leaving our bodies. We swallow air as we eat food. When we drink soda we are also swallowing another gas called carbon dioxide. Carbon Dioxide is full of bubbles and the bubbles need somewhere to go other than floating around in your body. Gas can escape easily, which is why we can't always cover our mouth in time! If you want to be able to burp the alphabet - or your fave song-SWALLOW AIR. The more air you swallow the longer and louder your burp is gonna be.
