Why does canned coke taste better than bottled coke?

Question

haha im a coke expert (7 cokes a day normally LOL)

wonder why im not fat? ohh its gonna catch up to me when im older i bet... anyway im getting a bit off subject, so why does can coke taste better than bottle coke? i think can coke gets colder too but im not sure...

Answer 1

I like the taste of bottled coke more..but maybe just because it's more convenient since you can always put the lid back on. Anyway, it could be all in your head and you just enjoy the presentation of coke in a can more than in a bottle.

Answer 2

cans are better conductors, so that helps get it cold to begin with... and because its a smaller amount, its consumed before it gets too much warmer.   some people belive the plastic bottles give drinks a small amout of plasticy flavor, so that could be it too.

finally its probably nostalga affecting the flavor.  you probably have usually had cans since childhood, and a can of coke when a child is likely a good memory... good memory makes the drink taste better

Answer 3

I agree that can coke tastes better.  I don't know why it is.  I always tell people that I prefer a little bit of aluminum flavoring with my soda.

Answer 4

I would say that because plastic bottles are not gas tight, they go flat faster and are not as fizzy as cans.

Answer 5

I think bottled coke is better, because it doesn't have that tinny flavor. Also, bottles stay colder longer.

Answer 6

I'm not really sure why this is, but I totally agree with you.  I am not a coke fan at all, but LOVE Pepsi, and agree that the canned pepsi is WAY better than the bottled one.  I agree with the response that it is possible the fact that it is metal and gets colder, and stays colder longer.

Answer 7

I like bottled best.
