when i drink out of plastic, i can taste it. when i drink out of glass, i cannot.
i always go out ofy way to buy most things in a glass bottle, if I can. most plastics used are shitty. but it saves the company money, so they use it. and then i don't buy it.
The difference between coke from a glass bottle and a plastic bottle is like two entirely different liquids.
Yeah the glass bottle Coke is the formula with cane sugar instead of high-fructose corn syrup.
I've never tasted a difference from a glass bottle, cans taste fresher than bottles in general as they are more gas tight. Also it was shipping costs that killed off glass bottles really. Even craft breweries have mostly gone to cans and they only did bottles for a while because hipsters demanded it while cans are not only lighter to ship but also stay fresh longer due to better sealing and not letting light in which degrades the drink ingredients over time (according to every microbrewer I've spoken to.)
The glass bottle cokes are still done here in the UK, but tend to only be in the largest supermarkets to buy, or served in pubs, and obviously more expensive.
The light degrading factor is also why wine bottles are tinted. (White wine isn't stored as long as red wine, so they mostly don't tint bottles for white wine.)

Thanks, very informative 🙂
