Can vs Bottle

[Zoid]

Meh, I don't really care. But I hate big bottles and cans (50 cl) for beer though, the beer goes stale far too quickly...

[Harovan]

This can have 2 possible reasons:

1 - low quality of the beer
2 - you drink too slowly

My money is on the latter.

50 cl bottles for me all the way. And 25 cl bottles for my wife; I always have to finish what she leaves over. Not that I mind, though.

This annoyed the hell out of me in the States, even though I could understand the reason.

Vodka doesn't come in cans.

According to a friend who went to Russia, yes it does.

Actually, I think that's because you have the third-world coke. African coke tastes also different to European coke.

I gotta go with bottles.

You just can't pull a swig from a can like you can from a bottle.

Plus cans have that little lip so you never really get all the pop out, and it gets nasty and sticky. Then you have to rturn it and get gunk all over your hands...

No, it's bottles. No question about it.

It's weird. I prefer 33 cl cans actually. I can suck down 3 cans of Heineken or Carlsberg Black Gold in half an hour on a hot day... So it must have something to do with the bottle itself

33cl?? Two glugs and they are done. At least with 50cls you're not in the fridge every 5 minutes.

Cans are better, you just don't get that initial 'kick' from the first mouthful from a bottle of Coke or beer.

So...you like it in the can?

coke's formula is a closely guarded secret. They just don't trust third world nations with it.

In the case of diet coke, I actually liked the greek version better. Though it was coca cola lite over there. So it wasn't exactly the same product.

how many ounces is 33 cl? stupid metric system. throw rocks at it.

[Harovan]

I believe it's 12 fl. oz, in XVIII century units.

for sodas I prefer can, for beer I prefer tap. If not on tap, then bottle. No canned beer please!

Ditto

Cans for soda are better for the portion control (though I drink Coke Zero, so I guess it isn't as much a problem anymore... though a 12 pack in cans fits better in a fridge).

Beer in bottles tastes so much better than cans, and perhaps that is because all the good beers are in bottles . Though tap kicks both of their asses.

They all use the same base ingredient, it's the water quality that does it. And I think some countries dilute their coke with more water than you should. That's why french and polish coke taste like dish water...

Europeans have water problems... I have the whole amazonas and river playe systems next to me, with the sole purpose of providing me with nicke coke
