So I’m the only person in the world thinking that the more you shake the bottle and let the gas go, the better it gets ? I always thought that the gas/fizz in the coke makes it hard to drink. Many times you are thirsty and you have to drink very slowly because of that. And that’s anoying. No ?

About the coke acid doing the same harm as the orange juice (or even other fruits) I can confirm that. I was having a bad tooth and drinking Coke made the tooth even more sensitive to cold water and so. And orange juice did the same thing.

I thought that perhaps the cold of the bottle affected the taste sensation.

I chilled a thick glass in the freezer. When it was really cold, I poured in cold coke from a can. Voila! It tasted like it came from a glass bottle.

2. Cokes are about as acidic as orange juice. Anything you can wash/dissolve with coke, you can wash/dissolve with Orange Juice. Before you stop drinking orange juice too though, neither is as acidic as your naturally occurring stomach acid.

Finally, I’ve always preferred the taste in cans. I always figured it was just the difference in carbonation from one package to another that affected the taste.

I went to the coca cola plant and asked, because I my self have been curious. It is not that they use sugar in glass botles and Fructose Corn Syrup in cans and it is DEFFINITELY not the fact that the aluminum is having a chemical reaction lol!.

There is more syrup in the glass bottles. The glass bottles are smaller ( except mexican coke and other bottles I didnt ask about the bigger ones should have!!) but they use the same amount of syrup in the 12 oz can’s in the 8 oz bottles. SO there you have it thats why!

Mexican Coke is different, that I think they actually use real sugar in.

I recently helped a boy from 7th grade on his science fair, and it was about the acidity of these sort of drinks. We submerged small pieces of aluminum into the solution for 7 días, and compared the final weight to the initial weight.

Coca Cola was the drink which caused the most corrosion in aluminum.

Definitely acid and metal don’t go together, but aluminum is treated before it comes in contact with an acid. So there is definitely a reaction!

Or maybe we’re just imagining it.

Pepsi on the other hand tastes like drek no matter what container it comes in. Pepsi Twist is drinkable though. The lemon cuts through the nasty sweetness. Strange that T&T (Vancouver area Chinese supermarket) always prominently features Pepsi Twist … must be big with the Asian crowd.
