| Feb 22, 2014 at 2:46 | comment | added | Tony Arra | @Jefromi umm that's exactly what I meant. The bubbles getting sucked through the tiny space is capillary action. I was referring to the point in time when the jug was completely full (unsure whether the bubbles would have expedited this or not. Pressure building from CO2 in the jug COULD cause a forceful explulsion of the liquids. ) | |

This isn't a big bubble eruption; a few little bubbles can't push oil up that far. And the "sucked through the tiny space" you mention is capillary action. | |
| Feb 22, 2014 at 1:09 | comment | added | Tony Arra | @ChiChiChan This may explain how the oil seeps through the opening of the jug with the cork in the way; however, I don't think that it would explain the air bubbles. It's most likely part of the puzzle here: the oil bubbled up to the top of the jug and was sucked through the tiny space between the cork and lip. | |
