Glass Mexican Coca Cola is the purest Coke.

Glass bottle. I don't know how anyone can favor plastic over can and glass bottle

They do have some really good fucking coke. It's probably my favorite and I didn't even know.
NOTHING tastes better when quenching your dehydrated-ass mouth after eating a shitload of greasy and salty popcorn.

Glass (Mexican) Coke is the best. A close second would be McDonald's fountain Coke. There is a reason they are willing to help municipalities buy new water filtration systems when a McDonald's location gets put in. Also, cans are better than plastic bottles.

I don't drink anything from plastic anymore, it's disgusting. Cans > glass >>>>>>>> peasant plastic.
The one good thing about Texas, you can find this everywhere.
Most of my local McDonald's have switched to that new form of fountain. You know the ones. With the touch screens and lots of syrup flavor options. I'm not convinced it tastes "better" than other forms of Coke anymore. It tastes fine though.
Anyway, Mexican coke (glass bottle) is the best. If it uses sugar. I read that they might switch to corn syrup for those, but so far they still seem to contain sugar anytime I read the ingredients.
After that, cans. Followed by plastic bottles. Followed by other varieties. Fountain is too hit or miss, as if they are not calibrated right or something else in the chain isn't right it could taste foul.
The true acid test for me is the slight bitter flavor coke has when it's properly prepared. Some coke sources don't have this right for whatever reason. But it's always there in 20oz bottles and glass bottles from my experience.
I think one of the keys for cans/plastic bottles is freshness. If it has been sitting too long it might be leeching some kind of flavors from the container. It's the same reason I don't like drinking coffee from a stainless steel travel container. It changes the flavor a lot.

I think a good soda fountain Coke beats everything. Then glass bottle, can, and way at the bottom, plastic bottles.

The 16 ounce cans of Coke taste the absolute best.
Like the hat?

glass then aluminum then plastic
Fountain drink in styrofoam is probably the greatest of the choices. If I drink soda, I like a lot of ice, and it stays cool the best in styrofoam.

The only proper way to drink coke:
I am serious
This would've been my vote. Only time I can really tolerate Coke, obviously a mental perception thing.
Otherwise, glass bottle.

Cans are lined with plastic on the inside.

Nothing special about Mexican coke afaik, the only odd duck out is US coke since it's made from crap sugar.

Glass, can, and fountain all taste different but good. I will not even drink pop out of a plastic bottle.

McDonald's coke is OP. I am surprised there isn't more discussion of the bag. Not that it is great but I assumed it was popular in many areas thus making it a choice that people were fond of.
