Why do drinks taste better in glass bottles than aluminum cans?

[Triforceofcourage]

?

 

[tweakmm]

Because glass is inert while aluminum is not.

 

[giantpinkbunnyhead]

Aluminum cans impart that steely taste/smell into whatever you put inside them. Glass bottles FTW!

 

[preslove]

Yeah. I loved mexican soda because it all came in glass bottles.

Aluminum cans recieve an inside lacquer when produced...there is no taste difference between the different packaging materials.

<--- Works for the largest can producer in the world

Arizona Green Tea doesn't taste the same unless it's been in an aluminum can.
Mountain Dew is easier to chug in canned form vs. bottled.

Heineken in the little can that looks like a keg tastes awful.

Nope. To see for yourself, cut open an empty aluminum can and lick the inside.

Actually glass lets light through and changes the taste of the beer. Brown bottles are the best at stopping the light from changing the composition, heineken is in green bottles...not as good.

Therefore the canned Heineken is the real stuff.
Heineken in Europe is in brown bottles for this very reason.

True, it's not nearly as bad as straight aluminum, but, I don't buy that it's 100% inert.

You know, maybe you should do a google search before you and all the shen sayers make bigger fools of yourselves.

ALL aluminum cans are lined to prevent corrosion.

The metal would react with the acidic products companies put in cans. Take a can of Coke and put the can in the Coke and you will see the can get corroded.

 

[vi edit]

Cans seem to have more carbonation/head to them than bottles. I get a lot more bloated feeling when drinking cans over bottles.

 

[giantpinkbunnyhead]

Lined or not, aluminum cans still have a steely odor to them. I'd rather my drinks come from bottles.

Ball's aluminum can process
"#12 Internal Coaters: spray a thin layer of lacquer on the inside of the can to protect product integrity"

 

[Cattlegod]

mt. dew is much better from the can than from the bottle.

Because you put your lips to the metal when drinking straight from the can. If you drink it out of a straw it tastes different (more like from a plastic bottle)...

I'm talking about the taste thing, not the lining. Only an idiot would disagree with that part.

I gotta try the straw thing.
