glass bottle >>>> plastic bottle > can

I don't drink non-diet soda much, so I don't get the chance to drink out of a lot of glass bottles. Glass bottle Mexican Coke is damn awesome though.

 

[iPaul93]

Can by far.

 

[Tal Shiar Agent]

Just like Coke and Pepsi, the medium doesn't make them taste different.

Fountain Coke>>>>>>Made in Mexico Bottle>>>>>Glass Bottle>Plastic Bottle>Can

"Sorry sir, we have Pepsi, is that OK?"

"Actually no. I'll just have water."

Glass > Can >>>>>> Plastic

thread is over.

 

[jstevenson]

Coke?

Probably glass bottle and then can. Plastic bottle is meh.


Dr Pepper I think tastes best with crushed ice out of a sytrofoam cup

 

[PeskyToaster]

i generally don't eat the container, does it absorb the flavor?

 

[Vyrance]

Glass bottle then can, both of those taste great. Plastic is absolute last resort.

 

[frankie_baby]

Glass bottle, but they're rare here in UK.

Yeah but at least we have the real thing not that corn coke muck the Americans have to deal with

 

[Kor of Memory]

Containers tend to alter the taste slightly.

Have you ever had canned water? Wanna tell me it tastes the same as bottled water?

 

[tariniel]

For me, Coke brands always tasted best out of a can, especially Dr. Pepper.

Pepsi is the opposite, I prefer it out of the 2 liter bottle.

 

[Poodlestrike]

If I could get Coke Zero in a glass bottle, I would, but as I cannot, I must go with the can.

 

[exmachina64]

Glass
First three sips from can
Plastic first half
Subsequent can sips
Plastic second half



Caveat: Coke Zero in Plastic is pretty good.

That's pretty exhaustive.

Spoiler

And correct.

 

[PeskyToaster]

Yeah but we're talking about the taste of the container here. It's hard to imagine a glass, plastic, or aluminum container tasting the same. They are radically different materials. I just don't think the flavor of the coke would affect the container that much so really what we're deciding is if glass, plastic, or aluminum tastes better. I'd say aluminum though I don't eat that much of it even after I finish my drink.

 

[Gastone]

Glass bottle, then can. Anything in plastic can fuck right off along with dispenser coke from fast food chains.

 

[Kayhan]

Team Aluminum Can.

Glass is OK, plastic is horrible.

 

[NoblesseOblige]

Fountain. Rest is garbage for Coke.

You know what, you're right

Fountain coke rules all though of course

Wtf you've been wasting the containers all this time? What do you do with them, throw them away instead?!

Looks like it'd go well with your meal:

 

[jstevenson]

flavor leeches from the container (glass generally is accepted as not leeching any flavor or being the most minimal)

 

[RadioJoNES64]

Can.

 

[mollipen]

The one that says "Pepsi" on it.

Pour it out on the floor and lap it up off the floor like a animal you piece of crap

 

[HyperCroutons]

I wish I could find the glass bottles around my area but I haven't seen any in years. For taste though I choose glass, not sure if its mental or what but Coke seems to taste better in a glass bottle.

 

[theepicoftyler]

Yep. This cannot be underestimated. McDonald's literally has that shit down to a science and it's the best form of Coke.

 

[Nielm]

Definitely glass.

It tastes poor to me from a plastic bottle.

 

[snacknuts]

McDonalds Coke is the correct answer, theirs taste better than any other fountain coke for some reason.

Came to post that a McDonald's cup is the best vessel for Coca-Cola.

 

[RowdyReverb]

It has more to do with the metallic odor of the aluminum can that impacts how you perceive the flavor of the beverage. Technically speaking, the can is superior in preserving the beverage from the factory to the end consumer, but you need to pour it into a glass to get the most out of it.

Can't beat Cane Sugar. Fuck HFCS. Fuck whoever uses that artificial shit.

Glass bottles from the north pole. Nothing better.

 

[Cozmogramma]

2 liter plastic bottle or a can.

 

[Pinko Marx]

Whatever congeals out of those Waffle House fountains. Something about Waffle House and Coke just go hand in hand.

Yep. I have no idea what they do to screw up the plastic version so badly.

Fountain Coke does have its own unique taste too.

Ultimately anything but plastic bottle for me.

 

[Addnan]

Glass bottle, but they're rare here in UK.

They sell them in Tesco..

 

[NeOak]

The one that says "Pepsi" on it.

Costco isn't OP anymore just because they serve Pepsi now instead of Coke.

Think about that.

 

[KDR_11k]

One-way plastic bottle. Pretty sure the reusable ones taste much harsher. I wonder if that's actually related to the container or just the tap water in the place where they're filled.

Fountain is the worst, especially if it's badly tuned...

 

[SodiumBenzoate]

A well maintained, pressurized fountain is the best by far. Those fancy Coke touchscreen machines are always calibrated really well. Can't go wrong with those.

Then can.
Then plastic.

A shit flat syrupy fountain is the worst.


Haven't had glass in years, I forget how that tastes.

Yep. I have no idea what they do to screw up the plastic version so badly.

CO2 actually slowly leaks though the polyethylene so it is slightly flatter than glass/aluminium products, and trace amounts of acetaldehyde may leak into the soda if it is left in a warm place and/or on direct sunlight.

 

[ClosingADoor]

Glass>Can>Plastic. I have never heard anyone preferring it differently.

Anyone who doesn't say glass bottle is just wrong.

Why are we even still posting in this thread? Turn off the light and stick a fork in it. We're done.

Plastic, btw, is dead last.

[BomberMouse]

Glass, always a glass for all other drinks too.

Mexican glass bottle or you're trash.
