why does CocaCola in a can taste different from CocaCola in a glass or plastic.

Question

Do you also see the difference or am I tripping?

In: Chemistry

Answer 1

The taste difference comes down to the material the container is made from. Cans are metal, which can subtly affect the taste due to interaction with the soda. Glass and plastic are more inert, so the Coke tastes purer without any metal influence.
