Preferred Coca Cola packaging

[Paul Kersey]

Not a huge drinker of the stuff, but thought this might be interesting. I think the taste of it varies between glass, can and plastic by a fair margin. In order of priority, for me;

1) Glass. Preferably the glass with the greenish tinge (I think the Coke in the glass they use for the mixer bottles tastes slighty different, however, will not seperate for the purpose of this analysis). I remember travelling interstate back in 93 (think our glass buddies may have been on the way out) and coming across both 750ml and 1litre glass bottles. Can't recall if they were the greeish tinge ****ers though. Coke should make them again.

2) Can. The taste of Coke in a can does vary. I've always put it down to freshness. Sometimes it's great, sometimes it has no taste at all. I find that you'll usually get a decent can at a place that has high turnover, say, Red Rooster.

3) Plastic. By a fair margin - think it tastes ****ed. Nearly prefer premix Coke.

Glass >>>>>> Can >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Plastic

It's the only correct answer.

 

[Sydney Bloods]

Yeap glass>>>can>>>>plastic

Although as stated get a fresh can and the cokes pretty good.

I never touch the plastic bottle unless it's out of a machine.

 

[SugarShane]

Glass, Plastic, Can for me. Just something about the cans i don't really dig.

 

[Macca19]

Glass>Post-Mix>>>Can>>>>>Plastic

 

[Quivorir]

Can - glass - plastic for me. Coke the only thing that tastes good out of a glass.

Glass> Can>>>>>> Plastic

Best coke I ever had was in plastic though. It must have had a perfect run from the production line to the shop or something. Was amazing...

[BALKAN]

All tastes basically the same

Controversial view.

Ever ask why they taste different?

 

[Northworth]

always preferred a really cold can to be honest


but hate beer in cans

 

[JuddsABlue]

Glass bottle > Glass with ice (pub etc) > Plastic Bottle > Can for me

And as cold as the surface on pluto

I haven't asked but I have thought about it. Same goes with beer, milk etc.

 

[ep2018]

It's just like with beer - tastes infinitely better from a glass

They add preservatives because it doesn't keep in a can like it does in a bottle. They then add other additives to try and get it back to its original taste as a result of the preservatives compromising that taste. Some people can taste the difference, like some people can taste the difference between milk in coffee before the hot water is added and after (scientifically proven adding milk to hot water changes proteins and thus taste, but adding hot water to milk doesn't)

All that shit that they add can be the difference between a good night out on the grog and one that disintegrates into madness from to many chemicals, carbs and dehydration.

Best to stick with naturally brewed bottled beer..

That doesn't address plastic bottle v glass bottle though?

 

[Smoooothy]

Definately glass.

USAFoods in Morrabbin sells the Mexican variety in glass bottles. Its pretty good

Because of the light and thus heat, plastic bottles let in, they add different shit to preserve it.

There is a kebab place in Donny East (shitty kebabs) which had Saudi Coke in a glass bottle for a while.

Tasted completely different to any Coke I've ever had.
