Coke

[browneyes]

Why is it coke tastes best in a glass bottle? The plastic bottle or the can makes it taste funny. Even when you pour it in a glass. Does the glass cause a different chemical reaction?

Dr Pepper is the opposite. It tastes best coming from a plastic bottle (or from a Sonic styofoam cup).

Anyone else notice this or am I just weird?

Ima can man, things are colder in cans

I can handle it from the plastic bottles, but the can makes it taste like tin

Coke is definitely better in a bottle. The only Coke I can get in a bottle here is the tiny 10 oz bottles that costs about 5 dollars for a six pack. I wish they would start selling it here again.

AM, the tiny bottles are all we can get here too. I think a 6 pack is a smidgen less than $4. Some of the convenience stores sells them for 79 cents a bottle. I love the nostalgia of the glass bottles.

Right on both counts Shannon!! Yes, Coke does taste better from a glass bottle. . . and yes, you are weird!

Have you noticed that some places you buy coke it tastes better than others? I even wroted to Coke about this once. It just seems so different from one place to the other, either they let it sit in the hot sun or maybe there are some bootleg coke bottleres out there!!!

I can only drink milk from a glass....
Beer taste better from a bottle too...
Shannon weird???...nah..

Funny, I drink diet coke and prefer it from a can. However if Im drinking beer, I hate it in a can and prefer it in a glass bottle or glass. Im wierd too.

I made it easy for you, didn't I Willy.

And Shep, I'll send you a check in the mail.

RNMom, I bet my coke tastes different than yours. Coke originated close to this area and I bet they give us a different formula.

Camcolt, I'm glad I'm not the only weird one around here.

I buy the 10oz. Cokes in the Bottle for $ 3.99 a six pack. I don't drink it but DS and DH do, they think it tastes so much better in the bottle! I remember as a child getting Coke in the Bottle out of the coke machine down at the yacht club in South Boston. They seemed HUGE then. I wonder if it was because I was little or if they shrunk the bottle over the years?

I must be weird too. I like Coke best from a glass bottle but will drink it from a can or plastic bottle too. As a child I used to put salted peanuts down into the bottle and drank it that way. It was so good! My kids think that I am crazy!

And I can believe Coke tastes different depending on where you are. Dr. Pepper is the same way. When my husband goes to his deer lease a couple of hours southwest of here, Dr. Pepper has a different flavor there than what we get here. I won't drink it when he brings some home. He is a Dr. Pepper man.

I grew up disliking the taste of Dr. Pepper. I thought that it tasted like cough syrup and it burned my throat going down. I drink it now occasionally and sometimes still get the same reaction but haven't found a consistent container responsible. So it may be storing conditions and where its coming from.

Coke is BEST from a glass bottle. There is nothing like it.

The very best Coke I ever drank was in Ireland.

 

[Minniespal]

Definetly a glass bottle of diet coke!!!

 

[Whitegloves]

I drink Diet Coke, doesn't bother me much what the container is...glass, plastic or aluminum cans.
What is odd, if I pour it into a different container, then it has to be glass, can't stand drinking from plastic or styrofoam cups.
I wonder if the difference in taste in different areas is due to the water source used to make it in any given area?

Seems like the coke gets flat really quickly in the plastic bottles, even when you tighten the cap very tight. I like the can better than the plastic, but it always seems overcarbonated in the can? Too many bubbles...or maybe I'm just weird.

I LOVE fountain coke better than everything in the world! But it's gotta have a lot of syrup in it...my Friendlys has it really nice, tons of syrup, Wendy's doesn't, tastes like seltzer with a hint of flavoring. Nothing can beat fountain coke though....mmm I'm craving some right now!

I LOVE diet coke, and I like to drink it from a can the best. I don't like ice in my diet coke, since ice dilutes it. Thus, I don't really care for 2 liters (since they pretty much necessitate ice). I like it in a bottle too, but those are expensive/hard to find. Okay, I'm pretty picky. But then again, I'm from Atlanta, the home of Coca Cola, so I know how it's supposed to be.
