Yeah...I mean it's not, actually. This is the best soda regardless of container.

Yep hard to top this

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

No it's not? The Coke that's imported into the US from Mexico is made with cane sugar instead of HFCS. There's an obvious taste difference and that's why people like it.

Not all Coke in Mexico is made with cane sugar, but the stuff that we import is.

 

[Venfayth]

My sister has stomach problems when she has regular coke but can tolerate Mexican coke just fine. I always buy some specifically for her when she's going to visit.

Out of a glass bottle is better.

The GOAT right here.

Here's your list of best ways to drink a Coke

Good Fountain
Glass bottle
Can
Plastic bottle
Bad fountain


A good quality fountain coke (not 99% water) is fucking fabulous. I don't care if it eats away at my body, its too good.

 

[Clydefrog]

I had this for the first time in MY LIFE last week. First of all, it's a gigantic bottle. I felt like I had tiny little hands drinking it. Secondly, it's delicious.

 

[mavo]

I agree, i definitely feel it has more gas than the others, the shorter i can drink withouth crying the better.

 

[echoshifting]

I never drink soda anymore but if there's coke in glass bottles I can't say no

 

[RiccochetJ]

I hate the aftertaste of regular coke. The best I can describe it is metallic. It's amplified when from a can. My teeth almost feel like they have gristle in them as well. If I accidentally grind them, I feel like I'm chewing on tinfoil.

I do like Coke Zero though.

Thats not how you spell IBC

McDonalds Coke when properly fizzy and flavorful tastes amazing

 

[Forerunner]

OP you're crazy. Glass is so much better.

[Defect]

Glass and McDonalds.

 

[HazySaiyan]

Out of a glass bottle is better.

Glass bottle > Can > Plastic bottle

 

[echoshifting]

Coke out of a plastic bottle is just gross. They get warm too fast, lack fizz and have a weird aftertaste. I don't know why people drink them

 

[BAW]

I don't get it. Is the container supposed to alter the taste somehow?

 

[outsida]

Lies

 

[EGM1966]

Glass Bottles reign supreme OP. What is this can is best nonsense?

 

[TsunamiOfSwagger]

Out of a glass bottle is better.

No idea why, but it really is.

 

[A Fish Aficionado]

No idea why, but it really is.

Glass bottles have more carbonation as they can handle higher pressure.

Why does Coca Cola taste better from a glass bottle than a can? Science has the answer.
http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/technology-science/science/coca-cola-taste-better-glass-7376374

The recipe for Coca Cola is the same whether it's in a metal can or a glass bottle - so why does the latter taste so much better?
According to biochemist and founder of Science by Design Sara Risch, it's because of the liquid reacting with polymers in the packaging.
Polymers are the molecules inside packaging - themselves built from smaller units strung together - and add properties to the material they are used in.
In the case of aluminium cans, the polymers lining the packaging may absorb some of the soluble flavour from the drink.
"While packaging and food companies work to prevent any interactions, they can occur," explained Risch.
Meanwhile the polymer acetaldehyde, which is used in plastic bottles, could transfer into the coke inside the bottle, subtly altering its flavour.
And even though food standards agencies regulate the contact between food and its packaging, there are tiny amounts that could get through according to Popular Science .
According to Risch, glass is the most inert substance used for packaging and therefore gives the most unaltered drinking experience.
Of course, no matter which type of packaging you prefer your Coke in, the health risks are still the same.

Fun Fact: "Mexican Coke" (or the one actually sold in the rest of the American continent) is basically the original Coke formula. Before the Coke II fiasco, it had sugar.

So enjoy your "close but not the original thing" HFCS Coke.

 

[DonMigs85]

No, coke from a glass bottle is the best
Plastic is the worst

 

[grmlin]

small glass bottle -> can

plastic bottle or sirup-coke in restaurants is not an option

 

[random25]

Coke in can contains too much air and tastes bland.

And yeah, glass bottle is the best.

 

[Jake.]

glass bottle >>> can > plastic bottle > bar tap.

Glass and Fountain Coke are GOAT

 

[Breakage]

Coke in a can is around 13 teaspoons of sugar.

Not true. They use cane sugar.

But I think I read that they changed that recently. I think...

 

[boiled goose]

No way in hell. Canned soda while better than plastic and soda fountain, is way too carbonated.

Glass bottle is superior.

 

[True Savior]

Glass Cola > Can Cola

Pepsi Max > Cola

 

[orborborb]

The sugar in mexican coke is not the main thing that make it taste different, it's more likely something to do with slightly different ingredient sourcing or blending. For example mexican squirt has some unpleasant perfumey notes totally missing from the US stuff in cans. How long its been sitting on the shelf and how much it's been exposed to temperature changes also affects the flavor more than you'd think.

 

[The Flash]

Lol

Glass bottle for life

 

[Stevey]

How can anyone be this wrong?
All drink tastes better out of a glass bottle and Coke is no exception.

 

[Lebron]

If you ain't drinking Mexican Coke, you ain't living

 

[Kenzodielocke]

 

[kromeo]

What is this fountain people kept mentioning?

Coke zero is my drink of choice, I used to really like the one with lime but I haven't seen it for ages

 

[biggersmaller]

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.

I prefer the corn syrup. Real sugar makes it too sweet. Has less of a bite.

U.S. can forever.

 

[MassiveNights]

Irn Bru from a can.

 

[nasax]

There's something about the carbonation and sugar in the Mexican Coke that fills me up really fast and I want less of what I'm eating at the moment as well as less of the Coke. On the other hand, if I let myself, I can drink two cans of the American stuff or more and end up eating even more too.

Mexican Coke is great in all aspects.

 

[SaviourMK2]

I never say no to a cold can of soda. Especially Coke, Vanilla Coke, or Coke Zero (w/ Cherry too)
