    in a can, straight from the fridge.

    those plastic bottles dont seem to kepe it as cold or fizzy as a can.

    and i hate the galss bottles you get in pubs, because a)they never pour it carefully so all the fizz comes to the top and you're left with flat coke and b)200ml isnt enough

    oh, and i hate real coke, has to be diet coke. not for dietary reasons, just dont like the taste of the full fat stuff

    all drinks are out back but are actually syrup in kegs ... kegs like beer kegs but kinda smaller.

    the syrup goes through pipes and what ever to the dispenser while being carbonated with gas along the way :)

    this happens everywhere like cinema's, mc Donald's etc. :D

    Cool, I'm now an edumacated man.

    Can. All soft drinks are much nicer from a can.

    Except Lucozade.

    Doesn't say it is plastic though, just "bottle".

    This topic has come up loads of times, glass always wins. I always remember litre glass bottle in spain, icy cold. The 200ml ones are barely a gulp full.

    I've never come across a glass bottle of coke in a pub that's actually cold tbh. They always seem to be room temp, which is the worst kind of temp for coke.

    Kinda off topic but does anyone notice how Fanta always tastes better from the cinema?

    It's a conspiracy (seriously) to gte you to go to these places more because the stuff is nicer.

    I agree with pub glass bottles or machine/fountain/concentrate as joint first choice , I prefer coke after that from a can but always go for bottles cos you can close them. I'll get a can only if I'm taking it home.

    Different dates, lot numbers and most noticably different countries' coke all tastes different with the best being homebrewed with a 6-month date.

    I prefer cans - the mini-cans are super. Hit the spot for me anyway!

    Have a can cooling in the fridge as we speak (or type...). Obviously, glass bottles win above everything. Got them in a newsagent in London a few weeks ago. Nom.

    Always get cans to have at home as the bottles go flat after a while.. If out generally a 50cl bottle as it can be closed, whereas cans you need to drink them there and then, Thats my reasoning anyways :pac: :o

    Machine coke?

    Postmix sodas are fairly terrible.

    I prefer a can or glass bottle over a plastic bottle. So much better.

    Coke zero is the same imo. :( Many a time have they tried and failed to imitate the sweet, sweet taste of real coke...

    It ain't right either. Full of blooming aspartame-seriously bad stuff!! Give me real sugar anyday!

    Can't stand Coke at all but if I had to pick, I'd choose a bottle.

    Diet Coke. Can.

    Unless on the go, 'cause then a bottle is just more practical.

    I miss Cherry Coke :( Bring it back, or give me the money to move to America!

    Don't like regular Coke. I like Cherry Coke sometimes. I like it in an old-school glass bottle - But since those are hardly available anymore - You've gotta go with the can. I chose bottle though.

    Cans are way better, but I only buy large bottles. I drink upwards of 4 litres a day, so it's the only way I can be economical.

    Can of coke is way better than the bottle by far ! Seems a lot more chilled than the bottles do, which in turn make it better :pac:
