Umm, no.

Coke from a properly calibrated fountain is the clear winner.

 

[BlueTsunami]

I go out of my way for cans of soda. Something about plastic just tastes weaker. I wanna be hit with that carbonation blast.

But the perfect hit of soda has come from a fountain. It just sucks that it varies wildly.

 

[J2 Cool]

McDonald's Coke is best Coke.

I dont know why, but its goddamn true

 

[clav]

BPA (material that antiplastic advocates mention) is in that can.

Glass > fountained > can > plastic
Fact

 

[Kraatu]

Glass coke gets even better if it's made with cane sugar.
I mean, screw corn sugar, it's awful...

 

[A Fish Aficionado]

I've never seen cognitive dissonance in can before.

 

[Cranster]

Glass > Can

I disagree. The one's in Glass have a slight copper taste I can't stand.

 

[User 479360]

I agree. Coke -- with its variants, like Cherry and Vanilla -- is the best. I drink a lot of the basic version.

Can > fountain

 

[brianjones]

I only drink canned water

 

[Zukuu]

Ice cold (and by that I MEAN ice cold, not fucking fridge warm) Coke Zero is the best. Fresh bottle. Goodness. I live for that shit. Drink at least bottle daily.

 

[gdt]

Glass bottle my dudes.

 

[Colonel Nasty]

This is a God's dream

 

[Tonky]

I had a fountain Coke from Chipotle today and it honestly tasted like Coke-flavored water

 

[Princess Viola]

I live in the US and the only type of Coke I drink is Mexican Coke in a glass bottle.

Literally can't even drink the regular US Coca-Cola with corn syrup anymore.

 

[Hero_of_the_Day]

Out of a glass bottle is better.

This. Mexican Sprite out of a bottle is the best, then Jones Cream, then Mexican Coke.

 

[figadapaura]

I'm partial to Fanta in a can. Straight out the fridge. Lovely.

 

[Gnome Scat]

You're drinking it wrong if it's not sugar cane based in a glass bottle.

 

[HeisenbergLannister]

McDonald's Coke is best Coke.

There we go.

Since hardly drinking any soda anymore, it's hard going to McDonald's and having to avoid getting a large Coke.

 

[Machine]

I miss buying soda in glass bottles so much. Drinks used to be heavily carbonated back then. Now everything seems flat by comparison. I miss buying Hi-C and Hawaiian Punch in cans too. Now you really don't need the pointy thing on the other side of the bottle opener (unless you drink tomato juice). God I'm old.

My man!! My buddy served me a glass bottle mountain dew before at his house. It was like drinking nectar from the gods. Soda made with sugar cane, not that artificial crap, tastes so much better. Totally worth the extra cost. Aluminum can and plastic bottles can take a hike after you've had the pleasure of drinking a real soda.

 

[Vigilant Walrus]

McDonalds and Movie theaters put Syrup in their Sodas right? That is why they taste better?

 

[MasterCheeze]

Personally I like Coke in a glass bottle the best, but it's not like I get to drink that as often. Can with a straw might be second for me though with plastic bottle third and fountain fourth.

 

[AlexMogil]

McDonalds used highly filtered water that is consistent among all of its locations.

 

[Korey]

REAL Mexican bottled Coke comes straight from God's lips.

TC has obviously never had it.

You know that "Mexican coke" is a complete myth and placebo right?

I love whenever people bring up Mexican coke like they're some sort of soda connoisseur

 

[DavidDesu]

So you've not had Irn Bru then? From a can, or a glass bottle (tastes fine out a plastic bottle to be honest, but if we're being snobby about it then can or glass!).

 

[NoblesseOblige]

Coke from the can burns my tongue.

Also all can soda is terrible compared to fountain.

 

[Zoe]

Properly mixed fountain is best. Too many things can affect a can.

 

[KHlover]

0,2 l glass bottles > fountain > can > plastic

 

[QuantumZebra]

Umm, no.

Coke from a properly calibrated fountain is the clear winner.

real Mexican soda is Jarritos.

 

[DirtyManos]

Edit: ^^^^ My man


Haha nice try OP

 

[Nielm]

In the UK I used to buy these:

It definitely tastes better from a glass bottle. It tastes the worst to me from a plastic bottle.

The best Coca-Cola I've tasted is from McDonald's, and from fountains in various different places.

 

[DiscoJer]

Cans give soda a slight metallic taste. Much better from a bottle, preferably glass.

 

[FreeMufasa]

If you ain't tried ice bottle cola. U ain't seen shit

 

[JeTmAn81]

Coke from a glass bottle bought in Venezuela in 1998 from one of the cooled drink carts they had all over the place is the best soda I've ever had.

 

[Switch Back 9]

Not a pop drinker myself, but an ice-cold can of Coca Cola is fucking amazing once in a while.

 

[Mr. Crow]

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

 

[Branduil]

Coke has a weird aftertaste. I don't like it at all.

 

[PAULINK]

Fountain coke is the real mvp.

 

[shoelacer]

I agree 100%. The first slug off a can while eating a sandwich, or almost anything really, has an almost narcotic effect on me. Whatever garbage they're stuffing in there works, cuz even though I know it's awful for me and I shouldn't pay for it, I keep coming back.

 

[Strangelove77]

This shit right here.

 

[Alphahawk]

The fountain coke experience is the supperior coke experience. On a hot day, putting ice in a coke, and it being so cold it almost burns your mouth is just euphoric.

 

[GringoSuave89]

Shut it down. We have the correct answer.

 

[RoslindaleOne]

There it is. Mexican Coca-Cola is the best Coca-Cola.

 

[Crimsonclaw111]

It's also the only way to enjoy a Dr. Pepper, it always tastes flat otherwise.

 

[Stinkles]

#Teamglass - I'm not hipster about it, I genuinely enjoy the slight mineral taste of the glass with the coke. It's very distinct.

If you like metal, go nuts. #Teamfountain seems like a syrup calibration dice roll. That shit ain't consistent.

 

[Weston]

A Jimmy John's by my house has the best fountain Coke. Everywhere else I go it's terrible. Don't even get me started on Pepsi only establishments.

You ever been in a Restaurant and they apologize and say, "is Pepsi ok?" you probably have.

But you know why the reverse never happens?

Because only goddamn fuckin' weirdos order Pepsi.
