For some reason Pepsi taste better in a can than in a plastic bottle. Coke taste better in plastic IMO. I think it is because pepsi looks retarded in the plastic bottle. Blue and black don’t go well. But I don’t know if I do not like the color cause the drink taste bad or I don’t like the drink because of the color.
Anyone who drinks beer from a bottle or a can is a lost cause, since the only proper container is a stein.
Of course, they’re probably drinking Bud or Coors, which isn’t really beer anyway…
This is opinion, not fact.
My favorite soft drink is Cheerwine, a regional beverage found mostly around the Carolinas. Cheerwine is a VERY fizzy and sweet soft drink.
I always found that the glass bottles kept the fizziness in better, and had a superior quality to that served in either cans or plastic bottles. The 16 oz glass bottle kept in the bottom of a chest cooler that is so cold that the beverage is just beginning to freeze is the optimum way to serve Cheerwine.
As for ketchup — I hate the plastic bottles. At one point, I even wrote to Heinz to complain about it, because the ketchup in the plastic bottles tended to collect water on the top, and the first sploosh out of a plastic bottle always ended up soaking your bread with water before the ketchup came out. They wrote me back saying that they’d never heard anything like that before. Then a couple of months later, they started selling it in plastic bottles with a “new, improved cap” that was supposed to prevent the drip of water (that never existed, according to them.)
It’s improved the situation, but I still shake the bottle, and tend to aim my first sploosh of ketchup into the trash instead of onto my bread, because water soaked bread is just gross.
duffer, Canfield’s is a regional brand of soda. I used to get it when I lived in Chicago. Not sure if they’re just in Chicago, or further in the midwest. They were famous for having “odd” flavored sodas, besides the standard fare. I can remember flavors like “Chocolate Fudge”, “Bubble Gum”, and other odd flavors. Some of them weren’t too bad.
Slight hijack, but:
Irn Bru (British Soft Drink) still comes in glass bottles that are returnable. Up till a few years ago we had a small van drive around our area stopping like an ice cream van where you could buy glass bottles of pop and return the empties.
