Would an o-ring seal a pet bottle and let me store it half full for weeks without losing the gas?

The lid does that
What lid, the thing that cracks when you first open it and you can't put back on to store it after taking a cup?
The tool for that would cost more than buying a new soda I assoome
The frick are you talking about? The only part that "cracks" on the lid of a plastic soda bottle is the anti-tamper ring that indicates whether the bottle has been opened or not. You can absolutely put the lid back on and reseal the bottle. The soda isn't going flat because the lid is leaking gas, it's going flat because it outgassed when you opened it and after removing soda you've created additional headspace in the bottle thereby lowering the partial pressure of the carbon dioxide when resealed.

bizarrely stupid post
what was it like to grow up with two mommies?
Extract the gas, store separately, reinject the gas at consumption.
They make such systems for wine though it's a bit easier because wine comes in glass bottles. A vacuum pump for a cola bottle would end up collapsing the bottle and probably suck up much of the cola in the process.
Ok but would the o ring work or not
Depends on if NASA is involved or not. Do you want a Mentos style cola explosion in your house?
Then the carbonation will re-inflate the bottle. Which makes the pop flat. You actually want to pressurize the bottle.

would this work?
I think they already sell means to recarbonize pop bottles with special one way valve caps.
Why no one wants to answer wether the o ring would work or not work
Why don't you try it and see? If you can't afford an O-ring you can't afford and do not need soda.
I can and I was going to, just figured I'd ask here first
Probably not. Because there is a plastic seal inside the pop bottle cap already. And an o-ring without a seating groove will just prevent the bottle mouth from making full contact with the cap seal. So it will leak and go flat even faster.
Do you honestly think an o-ring will magically keep a bottle more tightly sealed than a screw cap?
there's a silicone insert inside the lid already
a o-ring wouldn't improve performance any further
is this a troll thread?
No
Ok I'll just smash the bottle and store it upside down like google advises
Who's taking about mentor?
Dry ice bombs prove lid seals.
Anecdotal, but I've found some brands of gingerale will stay carbonated for months in the fridge, while most root beer for example goes flat in hours, faster than a open glass of coke, pepsi or the like will in open air.
The lid has an integral o ring gasket
