As part of my undergrad statistics course on experimental design I tested this very hypothesis among about 60 students and found no significant difference in preference between cola poured from plastic, canned, or glass bottles.
Still, there’s nothing better to me than a cold glass bottle if I had to drink soda.
- saila 5y agoThere must be a perception-over-time element to this. Fresh from the container, there's probably not much difference, but the size of the container, whether it's re-closable, how well it conducts heat, how fast the individual drinks, etc must have an affect on overall perception of quality/tastiness. I'm wondering at what point quality is "sampled." There's the first sip ... and then the last. Maybe overall perception is tied more strongly to the last sip?
