    The bubbles would travel to the surface with the least pressure. In space that would mean they would go to the closest surface.

    but aren't bubbles, in effect, fighting gravity?

    I second that...

    If you want an easier way of thinking about it... what's really happening, is the liquid part of coke (mostly water) is simply trying to minimise the surface area. (ie the same reason water forms round droplets on earth and form spherical blobs in space), since the "bubbles" are increasing the surface area of the liquid, the liquid will move so that the bubbles appear to move towards the nearest surface so that the increase in surface area due to the bubbles can disappear as quickly and efficiently as possible.
    I have deep pockets. It's just that it's a deep empty pocket...........

    mmmmmmm still don't buy it..

    there's no gravity to fight which way they're going, so they could go any direction. But then the bubbles would need to be forced in that direction. But if there's no force, then what's going to make them move?

    Question

    This is a trick question right?
    If you opened the bottle in space, (vacuum) the gas expanding would force both the bubbles and the liquid from the bottle and then the bubbles would expand towards the outside of the droplets formed.
    I think... therefore Im dangerous.
