Answer 1

Most of the glass bottles in my area are made with pure cane sugar, as opposed to high fructose corn syrup. Cans also have a very thin lining of plastic, that separates the liquid from the metal, and plastic degrades and gets leeched into the beverage. Not sure if coca cola has a similar property to beer, as cans, and dark colored glass block out light, which effects the taste of beer. Compare corona, which comes in a clear glass bottle to most other beers that come in dark brown bottles or cans to block out the light.
