This Is Why Coca-Cola Tastes Better Out of A Glass Bottle!

Whether it's out of a can, a plastic bottle or a glass bottle, you've got to admit that Coca Cola is a tasty drop. 

And if you've ever drunk the drink out of a glass bottle you most probably would have noticed that somehow it tastes better than usual.

Yeah we thought maybe we were just imagining it to, but science has proven it does actually taste different! 

According to a biochemist, Sara Risch, the taste difference is due to the liquid reacting with the material it's held in.

"While packaging and food companies work to prevent any interactions, they can occur," Sara says, and those interactions come from polymers. For example, a can, is lined with polymers to try to stop the drink from reacting with the metal. Unfortuantely interactions can still occur and the lining absorbs some of the flavour.

Sara says that the exact opposite process happens when the drink is in a plastic bottle. The bottles lining transfers into the flavour of the drink.

According to Sara the material that gives the most unaltered drinking experience is glass. It's the most inert of the three containers, so it's therefore the least chemically reactive.

That's why when you have an ice cold Coca-Cola out of a glass bottle (which you only find in a fancy cafe), it tastes so much better!
