I always drink my soda - I never save it after it's been opened - nothing worse than non-carbonated soda.

Opened ketchup goes in the fridge.

Soda and ketchup - In the pantry or on top of the fridge before opening. In the fridge after opening.

I thought ketchup was supposed to be refridgerated after being opened so it doesn't go bad?

Heinz doesn't require it... read the label. I used to think the same but it's not on there.

Soda seems to keep the carbonation better when warm. (imo) I theorize because the pressure stays higher so it's more difficult for gas to escape, but, I could be wrong.

i refrigerate the soda and ketchup, although ketchup doesn't need to be refrigerated. I cool it because it takes me like a year to finish a bottle.

I have to say a bit of both. It's pretty cool room temperature here anyway.

Soda, when I have any is kept in fridge and then consummed before it can go flat.

Ketchup/Mustard/condiments in fridge for freshness.

Its not that bad if wake up at night, pop open an new one, and then save it for the morning. I like my ketchup at room temp for my fries so that they dont turn cold once I pour it.

Carbon dioxide is more soluble in cold soda than in warm soda, so keeping the opened drink in the refrigerator will keep it carbonated longer.
