I know if I could get cans of Coke or Mt. Dew in 20oz cans I would buy them.

I'd buy soda in those Heineken keg cans, but not just a larger normal aluminum one.

There is actauly a difference in can/bottle taste. It has to do with the alloys in the can mixing in the soda, and abilty to retain/transmit heat and cold.

I know. I like that taste and I love how much colder canned soda can get than bottled.

Also, soda in a can will retain its carbonation for a much greater length of time after being opened than bottled soda does (which gets flat about an hour after opening, canned can stay carbonated overnight).

I don't drink much soda, and haven't bought a soda can in at least a year, so my vote doesn't count

If a 20oz can cost the same as a 20oz bottle, I'd go for the can. Sure, you can reseal the bottle, but that's only useful if there's a danger of spilling. It does little to help retain the carbonation.

For some reason canned soda seems to taste much better than any other kind.

On another note, I feel that I am quite addicted to Coca-Cola. If I don't drink it for a couple of days I'll get a headache. I'm curious, does anyone else have this problem?

Headache is a common symptom of caffiene withdrawal.

It wouldn't be if they plastered all the possible hazards and situations that could happen all over the bottle.

well, in PEI, glass bottles are mandatory, because they're 100% recyclabel, and aluminum and plastic are not. Thus, any drink you wish to have, is in glass, and there are no lawsuits.

actually, bottle/can allowing better taste is based off the soda. Canned Pepsi > Bottled Pepsi. However, Bottled Dew/Code Red > Canned Dew/Code Red. Canned Dew/Code Red has a less lacking flavor in my opinion

WTF? Plastic and aluminum is just shredded and turned into something else. I am sure it is taking more effort to sterilize and refill glass then to shred and melt plastic and aluminum down.

oh...plastic for making Coke slushies(just freeze to the point that when you open the bottle ice crystalls form thru out the Coke)

Cans for overall taste...

Glass bottles are not cool because I am a klutz and stuff.

Yes.

And fountain Lemonade > Canned or bottled lemonade. But at the same time, fountained Dew/Code Red is nasty shit.

When your body is regaining its normal functions after caffeine use, of the of side effects is that your veins will actually expand (as the caffeine contracts them). Those headaches are the veins in your head squeezing your brain.

There's a little something to think about the next time you've gone without caffeine for a while.

Thats because it's mostly carbonated water and not enough of the dew-syrup, Khy.

It can be good, when the portions are alittle more correct.

Glass can be melted down and reformed completely, not to mention you can just clean and rebottle them. Aluminum you will lose some when you melt it back down, and plastics rarey com back as what the started as, usally the become fill for somethign else like roads, or benches
