Most Die Hards Will Agree With This

This Is Why Coke Tastes Better Out Of A Glass Bottle Rather Than A Can

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. (via)
