But glass bottles from Mexico are top seed.

I'm not sure the difference in taste with Mexican Coke Coca-Cola is attributable to the bottle, but rather the formulation.

Mexican Cokes are made with cane sugar. Most of the taste difference is the formulation.

I mentioned the small bottles. IIRC, those were 7 ounces. Much like a little Miller, the small Cokes are meant to be consumed straight from the bottle and the smaller volume means it's usually still cold by the time you take the last swig.

The Cane Sugar thing appears to be in doubt… https://healthland.time.com/2010/10/28/study-hey-hipsters-mexican-coke-might-be-a-myth/

I’ll say this, there is something to the way the bottle fits the hand, the cold glass, the little vapor when you pop the top off… It’s probably mostly nostalgia, but yeah, there’s something to the bottle…

TBH, I couldn't tell much difference when I tried a Mexican Coke.

Then again, it's only freaking Coke....'Ah yes, I can sense the notes of plastic that enhance the underlying tone of phosporic acid and caramel colouring....'

Ferchrissakes, you drink warm beer. You couldn't tell the difference if they put Lysol in the bottle...

Brace yourself, the Bud Light jokes are coming....

Beer tastes better from a bottle.

In this order:

1. Coors Golden Banquet beer, The 1936 Stubby Bottle
2. Piels Real Draft Beer 7 oz Bottles - Pony Barrel Bottle
3. Schlitz pop-top, real gusto

End of discussion

Scratch off #3 from the list.

Last week, Pabst Brewing Company announced its plan to discontinue Schlitz, a once-beloved brand known as “the beer that made Milwaukee famous.” Pabst cited rising storage and shipping costs as the reasons for the decision to shut down the historic brand. Wisconsin Brewing Co. — which has brewed Pabst products in the past — will brew the last batch of Schlitz on May 23, Milwaukee Magazine reports.

Schlitz launched in Milwaukee, Wis., in 1849 as the flagship beer of Joseph Schlitz Brewing Company, which reigned as the country’s largest brewery until Anheuser-Busch ousted it from that spot in the late 1950s. A series of production shortcuts and questionable ad campaigns for the American-style lager initiated the brand’s fall from grace in the second half of the century. Schlitz closed its home brewery in 1981, and Stroh Brewery Company purchased it the following year. Pabst then scooped it up in 1999.
