I know formulations can differ from country to country but don’t understand why the same drink in the same country can taste so different depending on packaging.

In the case of soda fountains, the final product is prepared on-site. The soda fountain does not have a tank full of Coca-Cola that feeds the dispenser. Rather, the soda fountain has a tank full of concentrated Coca-Cola syrup, a CO2 canister, and a water line. When you dispense Coca-Cola into a cup, the soda fountain is carbonating the water with the CO2 canister, and then mixing-in a small amount of concentrated Coca-Cola syrup.
The soda fountain actually has many different tanks full of concentrated syrup – usually, one for each type of soda. If the syrup tank becomes empty, then the corresponding spout will only dispense carbonated water.
I prefer the taste of fountain sodas over canned or bottled sodas. The freshness really makes a difference!
