Glass bottle, followed by plastic, followed by can, followed by fountain.
Fountain sodas are always watered down so that the owner can squeeze a quarter of a cent more profit out of the highest cost-efficient product they sell. Can's are convenient to drive with, and opening them is very satisfying. But bottled soda tastes better, and glass bottles are the most kino.

Coke for drinking by itself or in mixed drinks. But Pepsi can form the basis for a decent ham glaze, believe it or not. I've tried it with store-brand cola, actual coca cola, and pepsi, and pepsi was hands-down the best way to do it. Coca Cola had too much of a bite, and mixed with the salty was disgusting. The store brands were either too sweet, or not syrupy enough. But it really is good. Look up some recipes and try it out if you like ham.

PET bottles release polymers on the liquid, changing the flavor, this amplifies if the bottles receives sun light. Metal cans when heated will allow the CO2 to escape faster, also changing the flavor

[Anonymous No.11890927]

Guys I tried the Mountain Dew AMP Charged Berry Blast for the for the first time and it's one of the best sodas i've ever had. I put it off for awhile because I thought it was gonna taste like another piss tasting energy drink but boy I was wrong. It tastes exaxtly like cotton candy which I never expected to taste so good as a soda. It's not even overly sweet like a cream soda where you're taking small sips. You can take gulps of this and still get that nice crisp soda feel.

11/10. Didn't know Mountain Dew could put out something good.

Also just to sorta stay on topic. Fountain soda is the fucking worst because the pour is way too harsh making the soda a bit flat tasting. I also would rather not use vending machines for soda.

This is a shitty opinion. Cola with sugar instead of HFCS is worse because it has an odd after taste in a similar vein to diet cola. Also the burn is oddly not as strong with real sugar. We are tricked to think sugar would taste better but it's not the case. I've tried drinking those glass bottled Mexican cokes for 6 months and it's just not as good as regular coke with HFCS

the glass cools with the drink, so when you feel the cold bottle against your lips it appears to taste better than a plastic bottle.
plastic doesn't transfer heat well so a pet bottle will be lukewarm even if the contents are cold.
try chilling a drinking glass in the fridge and pour a plastic bottle of coke into it. it won't taste too different from coke out of a glass bottle.
it's also why metal cans appear to taste nicer, as evidenced by multiple posts in this thread:

Good fountain > Glass bottle > Plastic (assuming proper storage) > Can > Bad fountain

Fountains are inherently inconsistent because of the ratio valve and the freshness of the syrup being monitored. McDonalds is usually your best bet. The worst version is a shitty fountain and anybody who has had one knows what i'm talking about.

Glass is second best, it retains freshness for the longest by far so carbonation is consistently better. Glass adds no flavor to the drink and is shaped to formulate bubbles better.

Plastic if not left out in the sun is the next best. It does add a bit of a taste but it isn't too bad and the shape is better for the carbonation.

Can is next, adds a metallic taste to everything. Best avoided.

As for Coca-Cola itself, my preferred version is the HFCS variety. Nothing has the same bite and flavor profile. Second best is "Kosher Coke" which is the American cane sugar variety produced near passover. It's got a different flavor, it's sweeter and lighter but still has a decent bite. Last is Mexican Coke which always tastes watered down and weak.

Have you even tried them both? Throwback Pepsi tastes less sweeter than regular Pepsi, since it only uses sugar to sweeten it instead of both sugar AND high fructose corn syrup together. That's primarily why Pepsi tastes so sickeningly sweet compared to Coke.

Canned pop and beer is the best. Any brand.

[Anonymous No.11900814]

If you tap on the button on a soda fountain about once a second, instead of holding it down, you get more of the syrup in the drink, making it sweeter. Therefore, a fountain is the best.

Between bottle and can, doesn't matter, as long as it's chilled and poured into a glass. If the bottle itself is glass, that's Mexican coke, and it's better than literally everything else.
