Weigh an unopened can of coke. Then, open it and let it sit for a whole day, allowing it go completely "flat," meaning all the CO2 has bubbled out. Then weigh it again. The weight of the can cancels out because it doesn't change, so the difference in weights is the amount of CO2 that escaped. Congratulations, you just contributed to global warming.

If you are in a lab and need to analyse CO2, the best way to do this is to purge your solution (bubble through) with nitrogen gas. Nitrogen is inert and will not contaminate the sample. Although Nitrogen is lighter than CO2, it will serve to "knock" CO2 bubbles out of solution. If you just want the Cola without CO2, this will suffice to an extent. Remember, CO2 will partially dissolve in Coke as H2CO3.

When not in a lab, you can degas naturally by shaking and leaving the lid open for the CO2 to escape. For HPLC, there are special microporous filters you can use to degas solutions.
