Coca-Cola in a glass bottle, is the original form, since the very begining of it existence, so, therefor, the Glass Bottle is n.1 choise.
you can taste the real flavor of it, and not "coca-cola alluminium flovored"

It's because a tin can tastes worse than glass. When you're drinking, your tongue tends to touch the container of said beverage. If the container is a tin can, it tastes horrible. If it's glass, it doesn't taste of anything much other than the drink itself. I've noticed it with beer too.
Everyone stopped using tin decades ago. It's all aluminum now.
Even if the effect is purely psychological, that's still a reason. I won't take my argument much further than that, or else I'll have to start quoting the Matrix.

Meh. Bottles or cans, anything carbonated sucks.
Don't get me wrong, I used to drink about a gallon (nearly 2 litres for you euro types) each day of various types of carbonated drinks. Not all at once of course, but multiple 12 and 20 ounce containers over the course of a day. Little did I know what it was doing to me...
After years of drinking carbonated drinks I started developing an ulcer. The doctors specifically told me that it appeared that it was directly due to all the carbonation in my diet. Switched to Iced Teas and Bottled Water and the old gut is doing much better.
Trust me, stay away from the carbonated crap. You WILL regret it later if you don't.

To me, soda in cans / bottles taste better than in large plastic bottles. My theory is that this is because of the "higher" concentration in the cans compared to the plastic bottle.
I tested it by letting pouring two glasses, one with soda from a can and one from soda from a large plastic bottle. Then I let them stand on the table for 1 hour - 1 hour and 30 mins.
Results
The soda from the can had almost the same concentration (taste) of CO2 since I poured it into the glass. It still tasted great.- The
- The soda from the plastic bottle had lost of lot of its CO2, and tasted like sugarwater
Of course, I cannot be certain if CO2 levels ever dropped, since I do not have any instruments to test the levels of CO2

not sure if this is true, but the manager of my old job (a cinema with coke fountains) told me coke is sold in different grades, depending on the type of packaging. I think it was, in order of concentration of syrup and quality, LOWEST first:
Fountain/dispenser coke
Plastic bottled coke
Can coke
Glass bottle coke.
Not too sure I believe them though.
Although only pubs get the glass bottles here.
I do know that coke products are different in different countries. For example, fanta in ireland tastes nothing like any other fanta in the world, as far as I can tell...

When you drop a metallic coin into a glass of cola, it strips the surface layer of grime, dirt and metal from it returning it to a condition similar to when it was originally produced. The same prinicple happens when you fill a steel or aluminum can, the cola reacts with it's unpainted inner surface.
With a glass bottle you don't get this reaction, hence it tastes slightly different. So no, it's not psychological.
Well, though it's true that the acid of a coke will dissolve a lot of stuff including your teeth, i remember hearing that it was coated on the inside so it doesn't dissolve.
After some "research" it looks like this is probably true.

Read last paragraph of "Current Characteristics"
There must be another reason! Wiki says manufacturing process of the cans. *shrug*

Fountain > Glass > Aluminum > Plastic.
Dude this is only true with beer, because it's kegged. With coke and other sodas, it's just a package of syrup with water injected with the fountain. They never get the ratio right...
BTW i agree that glass tastes best when it comes to soda.

Although when it comes to beer it's not a Fountain, it's a Tap.

Plastic bottles allow the carbon dioxide to escape over time, making them "go flat"
Atleast thats what it says in my materials science & engineering book (william D callister jr, 10th page)

Well, yes. The plastic that PET bottles are made from is porous enough to let oxygen and carbon dioxide leak through (although at a very slow rate).
It's changing quite quickly though. IIRC there are already PET bottles on the market that have a thin silicon oxide coating on the inside of the bottle, which completely removes that problem.

Its not the carbonation thats doing it to you, its the phosphoric acid thats in the soda, theres a LOT of it, i cant even ship the stuff in its raw form as its too corrosive for fedex or ups to take (placard level 8).
plastic tastes worse than cans taste worse than glass because of the amount of carbonation and insulation involved.
the plastic has low mass and is semi-permeable to gases, the stuff doesnt stay as fizzy, the cans are much better and the glass is best.
the taste difference when you drink one out of a can isnt the soda eating up the inside of the can, its from putting your mouth on the top of the can thats been through a factory, a truck and shelve and a dozen sets of hands in the process...
If you get a good fountain system with lower water pressure and really nice cold glycol in the chiller, then its prbly about as a good of a glass as youll get, unfortunatley most places are so poorly maintained that i can barely tell what some of em are, and i used to make the stuff...
soda guy out!

My material science and engineering book: Fundamentals of Materials Science and Engineering (William D. Callister, Jr.) doesn't have that on the 10th page at all! It has the beginning page to Chapter 2 where it talks a bit about the different crystal structures of carbon polymorphs (more on that on page 54). It does however talk about the diffusion of small molecules (gases) through polymeric materials on page 170!

This is more likely to do with the different water source in different countries, I'd imagine the recipe would only differ if other countries had outlawed certain substance...

They tested this on Mythbusters and it didnt work. Also regarding the taste of bottles vs cans, I've always wondered if it was just me who thought the taste was better in glass bottles, both cola and beer. Great to hear alot of other people have the same opinion and that there's actually an explantion for it too.
