Which do you prefer? Can you elaborate? I'm genuinely curious

Alum.

Plastic is the worst experience overall. Bottles are unstable, easy to tip, not as nice to drink from as alum or glass. Larger bottles flex when trying to pour, greater potential for spills. Ribbed spout is for her pleasure, not mine. Somehow soda in plastic is often less carbonated than in other containers. Won't stack.

Glass is as good as alum, but I hate dealing with empty glass bottles vs. empty alum cans.

Cans are just so easy to store/recycle. They can be stacked in the fridge. Great serving size - you can finish a can before it warms up too much, larger bottles are more likely to be warm partway through, though glass helps with this compared to plastic. Cans are the most satisfying to open and never require tools. They pour just fine, or you can drink straight from them without deepthroating corporate bottlecock.

mmm microplastics

>>21954277
Glass is always best. Plastics emit microplastics and metals errode and these are a problem for your health.

>>21954557
Don't forget the inside of aluminum cans are actually coated with plastic.

Im a glass guy, dont ask me why but I am

Glass
it's recycable
renewable
and it's not a danger to the environment since it gets destroyed and turned back into sand
plastic has been one of the worst things ever invented by humans maybe even the top 5

Canned.
>>
>>21954557
it has never been a problem for the health of anybody in my family, for the last 7 generations. i dont have data beyond that. i think we just have good genes and dont have to worry about that stuff.
>>
>>21954578
there are microplastics in your tap water too. you really think the refiltered water from the runoff of thousand homes in your area that they keep in a lake is free of plastic? it's just everywhere all the time. no sense worrying about it.
>>
>>21954277
In general, glass is better for the taste. Plastic bottles have an annoying drinking experience so you really have to pour it in a glass. Cans are decent to drink from on their own.
There's products™ that have their own type of spout on the plastic bottle and that is fine.
In both plastic bottle and metal can the microplastics are an issue, but even in glass bottles you can be sure in the production it will have touched some plastic.
Also I find that with coca cola specifically the production location changes the flavour depending on the water they use. So I try to avoid buying coke from the bad tasting production lines.

My tap water comes from the Alps

Worked with a bloke who claimed he could taste plastic in plastic bottled coke and aluminium in canned coke.
He knew every shop that sold coke in glass bottles.

soda out of glass bottles just tastes better, im with him on this
>>
>>21954277
Glass. Aluminum is lined with plastic on the inside.
>>
The answer is canned.

Why?

Because the moment you crack it open, it gives you that clean, satisfying psssht

Glass. I very much like how glass feels on my skin. I sometimes put it on my face just to feel that cold smoothness. Now that I think about it, I respond very positively to glass. I wonder why, maybe it's the harmonic resonance or perhaps it's just a childhood surrounded by drinking from re-used glass jars (it's probably both).
>>
glass
simply because the taste is crisp
plastic = cheap and sloppy
alum = same, but it feels somewhat better, not as good as glass tho
i always buy glass juices from time to time, just because i try to quit drinking PET soda and try to treat myself to glass ones as a way to circumvent drinking so much slop but not quit it cold turkey
>>
>Plastic
Only good for water
>Cans
I find the flavor of things like root beer and sprite are better from a can rather than a glass bottle. The flavor of sprite rolling off metal gives it a very crispy bite.
>Bottles
Classic coke easy other things may include a Sasparilla though I never see any consistent brands ever stocked in my area. Cream soda is also excellent in glass and I can't have a good mineral water unless its in Glass.

In my lifestyle, let’s just say, I need a lid.

No I won’t

Did you mean: Aluminium?

He's talking about aluminum, the metal they make soda cans out of
