Imagine you sitting on a hot summer day outside on your balcony enjoying the heat and sun. However after some time you decide to go inside to grab a drink, maybe an ice-cold cooke. In your fridge you have:

-A can of coke

-A 1L plastic bottle of coke.

-A 6-pack of coca-cola in glass bottles.

What do you decide to drink? And why?

 

[ChemicalCutthroat]

Glass bottle. I don't know why, but it always seems a little bit sweeter and a little bit crisper. Can't go wrong with the glass bottle.

 

[Sakura]

I can't tell the difference.

 

[Monochromaticx]

Stainless steel cup

 

[milanbaros]

Can't tell the difference.

 

[gcncontroller]

Can is absolutely the best, but I recently had some glass bottle coke and that was pretty good stuff too

 

[moggio]

Glass bottle is superior.

 

[Goro Majima]

I'm glad I'm not the only crazy person.

My wife thinks I'm insane that I can tell the difference between the little bottles of caffeine free Diet Coke versus the cans. The little 12 oz bottles or even the 16.9 fl oz bottles taste less flat to me or something.

 

[NoblesseOblige]

None. Drink it from zero-gravity.

 

[ClosingADoor]

Glass bottle. Anyone saying otherwise is crazy.

 

[azyless]

100% glass bottles.

glass bottle

 

[Fuchsdh]

Can > Glass >>> Plastic. Plastic seems to get flat and go room temp much quicker.

 

[FTF]

Glass bottle is superior.

Glass bottle. Anyone saying otherwise is crazy.

100% glass bottles.

Yup!

 

[Makai]

I had canned water. It was weird.

 

[Anoregon]

glass>can>>>>bottle is my experience. The first two are very close but plastic bottle is noticeably worse than either.

 

[PHOENIXZERO]

Glass is the correct answer.

 

[XOMTOR]

For Coke, it's can > glass >>>>>>>>> plastic (yuck). For some strange reason, I feel it's slightly stronger from a can.

For beer, always glass.

 

[True Underdog]

Glass and it's not even close.

 

[CarpeDeezNutz]

Glass

 

[Sora_N]

Glass. Then can. Bottle taste seems the worst. I barely drink soda but still.

 

[rgoulart]

Definitely glass bottle.

 

[TheDarkKnight774]

Regular coke in the can is the best

 

[Chittagong]

Glass by far. Can is ok too. I never do plastic, it tastes awful.

 

[Schucky Ducky]

I don't drink soda anymore. But when I did, I always like the taste from a can best. Preferred pouring it into a glass with lots of ice though.

 

[Yamibito]

For beer, always glass.

I thought this too until recently, and I'd argue that some beers benefit from it because the beer won't be damaged by sunlight (as certain types of beer are to do).

 

[SephiZack]

I thought this was about eating can, plastic bottles or glass bottles

 

[Alebrije]

Glass is cleaner, and easier to recycle. So Glass.

 

[Steamlord]

I don't think any of them really have much of a taste, but if I had to choose I'd probably eat the plastic bottle since it wouldn't tear up my insides quite as much. Weird question though.

 

[Kayhan]

Glass > Can > Plastic

Science.

 

[thesoapster]

Not a soda drinker, but I've actually come to like beer from cans. They seem to "keep" better.

 

[GifGafIsTheBestGaf]

glass bottle is the superior choice then can containers.

 

[cackhyena]

We've had this discussion before. Glass. No contest.

 

[acheron_xl]

Glass > Can > Plastic

Science.

Yep.

 

[muteki]

Glass without question.

 

[EdibleKnife]

I don't think I've had Coke in a glass in particular but Glass bottles of every other soda makes me say Glass.

[CaviarMeths]

Can.

Spoiler

Poured into a glass.

 

[Vyrance]

Glass > can >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> plastic

 

[Vivalaraza]

Glass

 

[Count of Monte Sawed-Off]

Glass, not even close.

 

[Alphahawk]

Plastic. The couple times (maybe once?)I've had glass I couldn't tell the difference. I may be slightly biased as I hate that you have to remove the cap with a special instrument. Like why would that be a thing?

 

[velociraptor]

Glass

Plastic leeches BPA.

Heavy metals are neurotoxic.

 

[The Real Napsta]

Glass is the correct answer. Unless you like plastic/can taste.

 

[jotun?]

I don't know if it's really a taste thing, but a cold glass bottle gives a superior experience


You should add a fourth option for "fountain"

 

[Woo-Fu]

Unless you like flavors leeched from container materials glass is the best.

 

[Luminaire]

I've found pouring it in a glass/porcelain up to be best.

 

[linkboy]

So good.

 

[Mohonky]

Glass bottle > can > plastic bottle.

Fucks me why.

 

[kasane]

Glass bottle is the G. O. A. T
