Difference in taste?

Question

Who finds the taste of a drink such as coke is different if bought from the pub or mc donalds compared to bottled, canned stuff from the supamarkets?

If you nottce a difference, which one do you prefer?

why do you think there is a difference in taste?

Answer 1

i hate fountain drinks, bottled drinks are so-so in plastic bottles (because they go flat quicker) they are better in glass bottles (but not really worth it) but i prefer cans (even though sometimes i think drinking from them might be unsanitary (look at all the dirt and grim around the rim- nothing covers where you put your mouth)

Answer 2

Yes it is far nicer in bar and restaurants. The biggest difference is with fanta. Restaurant fanta is a deep orange compared to the supermarket c**p and far nicer!!

Answer 3

yeah but ive noticed it like more in lemonade if i get it a bar compaired to like the bottles of it the bars taste better

Answer 4

THere is probably a difference in taste because of the machines that the pop goes through, and how it is actually delivered in the cup... yes, i know, sounds weird. I like the carbination, so i like soft drinks such as sprite from a fast food, rather than from the can.

Answer 5

i say it is better in a bottle it has a richer taste

Answer 6

In a bar/restaurant the "draught" drinks (cola etc) are not pre-mixed they are made by mixing soda water with syrup. The bar has a gun which soda comes out the main button & by pressing one of the smaller buttons the syrup of either cola/lemonade/orange etc comes out and mixes. Bars do it this way as it is much cheaper. Soda water is practically free & the syrup comes in large boxes, very concentrated so each drink only uses a little. Bottles, cans etc are premixed in the factory.

I prefer draught stuff! xx

Answer 7

supermarkets sell cheap rubbish, spend a bit more and at least you can drink and enjoy

Answer 8

In fountain drinks the drink syrup and carbonated water are not premixed, they mix together as they are dispensed.  Bottled and canned drinks are already mixed and are not as fresh.
