I am better than all of you ;). Once in a while I will drink pop, but I normally drink water.

Around 40% of the fountain drinks I get are too weak or taste like a mixture of citrus, cola and Dr Pepper drinks.

Negative, you northern wank.

Definitely either: Soda, soft drink, or _name of drink_.

Edit: And it goes- glass>can>plastic. I don't drink fountain much.

I have worked in both a can and bottle plant, can's are nasty, bottles are made in temps that nothing could survive, can's are not. I'll take bottles.

Aren't both cans and bottles hot filled?

Fountains can be the best by far as long as whoever set them up knew what they were doing.

Pop, or "soda" as you Yanks call it :p, tastes best from a can IMO... I don't like plastic nearly as much... fountain is in 2nd :)

I like my pop in a 2L bottle, should last all night, maybe 2-3 days.

Definitely fountain. That's about the only place I ever drink it from anymore, though.

Any carbonated soft drink is generically called a "coke", even a Dr. Pepper! :D

BTW: Glass is the best, then a can especially when ice cold.

Wow exactly, some fountains can taste so good, but they can easily be the worst too. I've also found I like mountain dew in a can yet like coke in a plastic bottle or in fountain. Root beer in glass (IBC is good) or sometimes fountain (for some reason our Arby's has great fountain rootbeer).

Fountain > Bottle >> Can >>>>>>>> Plastic

Nothing beats a properly mixed fountain drink.
