I often wonder how good that coating is for consumers. I'd be surprised if it doesn't leach into the produce.

- Caspy7 5y agoCertainly a belief among some that soda from a glass bottle tastes notably better.
- throwntoday 5y agoThat has more to do with the use of cane sugar vs corn syrup
- boomboomsubban 5y agoMexican Coke, which uses cane sugar, comes in a glass bottle, but you can also get US coke presumably with corn syrup in a glass bottle and some people do think it tastes better.
- ac29 5y ago> Mexican Coke, which uses cane sugar This is at least partially a myth. Here's a study which found no sucrose in Mexican coke: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1038/oby.2010.255 https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1038/oby.2010.25... Though, it is complicated because there are multiple bottlers making multiple different coke products, and even the same bottlers could shift what sweeteners they use over time, presumably based on pricing.
- Cthulhu_ 5y agoI'll vouch for that when it comes to beer. It's not just the packaging itself though, but also the experience. Plus, when you drink from a can directly, your lips will touch the outside / top aluminium, which will affect the flavor and experience - subtly, but it's there. I prefer glass bottles for my beers.

Ahhh the subtle flavours of rat shit. I've never seen someone wash the top of a can before opening it. I mean, would you go around licking random surfaces that other hands have touched, rodents have scurried over and defecated on, etc?
- hammock 5y agoThe odds that a hand or rat has touched the top of a can you just pulled out of a box is pretty slim

- jusssi 5y agoAs an aside, to me Coke from can has a different feel from Coke from plastic bottle. Almost as if the bubbles are fewer and larger when sipping from a can.
- hammock 5y agoWell the carbonation is different for cans vs bottles, and also dependent on the bottling plant.
- rob74 5y agoThen you should also worry about plastic water bottles...
- coryrc 5y agoDepends on the kind of bottle; polyethylene, safe; polycarbonate, not safe; polyethylene terephthalate, not great.
- hammock 5y agoJust about every disposable water bottle is PET, which is far down the list of dangerous plastics when it comes to leaching (to ignore for a moment microplastics).
- arcticbull 5y agoThe epoxy resin is mostly BPA. [1] [1] https://www.coca-cola.ca/faqs/coca-cola-faqs-health/do-coca-cola-cans-and-bottles-contain-bpa https://www.coca-cola.ca/faqs/coca-cola-faqs-health/do-coca-...
- rob74 5y agoThe article you linked talks mostly about BPA, but the resin only contains it...

- arcticbull 5y agosorry, I didn't mean by volume, but rather that when folks say resin they mean bpa epoxy resin.
