Soda tastes best from a glass bottle, with cans close behind. Plastic isn't nearly as good.

QuoteA soft drink (also called pop, soda, coke,[1] soda pop, fizzy drink, tonic, mineral[2] or carbonated beverage) is a beverage that typically contains water (often, but not always carbonated water), a sweetener, and a flavoring agent. The sweetener may be sugar, high-fructose corn syrup, or a sugar substitute (in the case of diet drinks).

A soft drink may also contain caffeine, fruit juice, or both.

I don't think its just the coldness factor. Even straight out of the fridge glass just seems...better. Even when they've been left at room temperature...its better.

Glass is inert, the various types of plastic leak organic compounds into the drink and contaminate our precious bodily fluids.

Yes I was going to say fountain - though I see you posted a pepsi one that yet has coke.

Also, does Ed want that soda/pop map posted again?

Depends on the fountain / recency with which syrup was changed as I've had some vary delicious fountain cokes but also some very disgusting.  So more variability with fountain.

I agree on drinks tasting better in glass bottles. But I rarely drink too much of soda/pop anymore. It either has too much sugar, or uses nasty artificial sweeteners. The most I drink of soda is ginger ale, and occasinally a coke or pepsi. Even juice I'm very picky about. Nothing with high fructose corny syrup, or additives.    :)

Yep, you never know if you're going to get the right mix of carbonization and syrup or not.  And if it's not, the drink will be anywhere from just not quite right to downright nasty and undrinkable.

Yup.  Or there's too much water in the line.  That totally ruins it for me. Flat and watery.  :yucky:

Up until about 20 years ago, the most common case container for soft drinks was the 8 pack of 16 oz. returnable glass bottes.  I haven't seen those in a long time, but a lot of places you'll still see the 6 pack carton of 10 oz. glass bottles.  Why they have them, I don't know, because they charge as much for those (or more) as they do for the 8 pack of 24 oz. plastic bottles. 

You'll also still occasionally find a vending machine that dispenses glass bottles.

Well that's true but I thought were were talking about conventional (traditional?) sodas. There are certainly tons of other brands that still use glass bottles - IBC being one.
