Why does coke, and many other sodas taste disgusting in a can, but normal in a 2-liter bottle?

Question

They taste 'dry' in cans, and just bad. In the about 16.9-20 fl oz. bottles, they taste sort of bad still, but not as bad as the can. Soda tastes the best when putting it in a cup from a 2-liter bottle, or even drinking out of that bottle.

No wait, actually it tastes best when you get it from a fast food place or something like that. It never tastes as good when you just buy it yourself.

Answer 1

Maybe it's the can transferring a taste to you. You should try pouring it in a glass.

Answer 2

I AGREE!

and it's because the soda is fizzy, and it has a reaction with the inside of the can that they are kept in - thus, "dulling" the taste of it  - i'm not really sure why it does this, but it does - best just to buy the big bottles of it - that also saves money too =] hope i helped

Answer 3

i like coke in cans. ^_^

hate those from fastfoods because it tastes like half coke and half water in it. i love ice cold coke than coke with ice. ^_^

but whatever it is, it's still coke.. i still love it. ^_^

Answer 4

i half agree

i think solo tastes much better from a can, but coke from the bottle

i dont know why either sorry

Answer 5

I disagree, Glass is best, Then Cans and Last (Shudder) plastic bottles. I have tasted the bleak nasty oily taste from the dead dinosaur product. The higher the acid, the ranker the taste.

Answer 6

actually, cans came first...by decades and decades...

Coke actually tastes best out of ice cold (from a cooler with slushy ice in it) glass bottles...
