Route 66 and glass bottles of coke

[RCBH928]

I always heard this thing that glass bottles tastes better than can,
but I think people are just imagining , what is different from a can to a glass bottle that would make the liquid tastes better?

What about Interstate 76?

Some people are sensitive to the taste to aluminum, giving whatever comes out of a can a slightly metallic taste.

Not sure about the Mexican Coke, but I'm take sugar over high fructose corn syrup any day.

I've driven Route 66 from Los Angeles to Tulsa, OK. It's mostly been replaced by I-40, with some business routes off the interstate still retaining the "Historic 66" designation. I'd say it's worth the experience. I personally really dig a good road trip, so I'm all for any excuse to get in the truck and drive somewhere. If you can, make some time to stop off and experience the areas you're driving through - on Route 66 or any road trip for that matter. Search on line, find some cool divey restaurants or diners with good food, maybe a few bars who have good bands, see if there's any hiking or outdoors options around, etc. Also, on 66, you should be able to get some very unique lodging as a lot of the motels cater to the whole "Historic 66" theme. Just be ready for lots of stretches of not much around, that's just how it is when you're driving a distance like that.

My father and grandparents came from Cleveland, Ohio to Orange County, California on Route 66. They drove in two seperate cars. A 1960 Ford Falcon and a 1964 Buick. That was in 1966.

Go figure.

I believe that the closed can insulates better than the glass bottles with a cap on top (leaking off of the drink's dissolved gas). If I am correct in that assumption, when it comes to carbonated drinks you may find the bottle version to have consistently less CO2 still dissolved in it (unless they adjust for the difference at the factory, I guess).

Sure.
I usually drink my beverages out of a glass anyway. Unless it is canned Miller Lite. That doesn't deserve to be poured.

I am one of those old balls that prefer coke out of a can. Sadly they do not (to my knowledge) release Kosher or Mexican coke in a can - I have only seen bottles and 2 liters.

And to xpost from the other topic:
Im from Atlanta so Coke central, but after a shoot a couple months ago my little brother came in with a flat of Mexican Cokes. New Years Eve started with Rum and Coke, made with Mexican Cokes and Appleton Estate Private Stock

Let me tell you this: if you have never had a rum and coke made that way it is like drinking gold. Or like eating a Hagrabiscuit.

I second that. Nothing reminds me more about the simple days of growing up in a trailer park than cans of Miller Lite. While it's crap beer, I have a soft spot for it and the nostalgia it brings me. And nothing tastes better after mowing the lawn on a summer afternoon either. There's a six pack of Miller Lite bottles in the 'fridge now, in fact. Right next to the Sierra Nevada Pale Ale, which is brewed in my hometown. Even went to high school with one of the founder's daughters. Her name is Sierra, go figure.

I actually wouldn't call Miller Lite crap beer. Bud Light, sure, tastes like carbonated water with a slice of white bread in it. I always thought Miller Lite tasted like a light beer should taste. And as far as "crap beer" goes, I always pick up some Old Style while in the Mid-West.

Man, I really like SNPA, but no difference if I have 1 or 12, it always gives me a headache.

I would highly recommend Duck Rabbit Brewery if you can find some of their brews. Just delicious stuff.
