Why is fountain soda better than canned or bottled?
You might say it's the ice, but even when you put bottled or canned soda in a cup with ice it's not the same.
You're viewing a single thread.
Its not, canned is best, followed by bottled. Fountain is the bottom drink of last resort.
For me it goes:
Glass bottle > Can > plastic bottle > post-mix (fountain)
I do like a glass bottle soda. Can't believe I forgot about those.
I'll die on that hill, but can is better than glass bottle. There's more fizz going on. Soda tastes also fresher
They are (sadly) so hard to find these days they are easy to forget.
Agreed, this is my preference in terms of taste for sure. Value for money though... well that's a different calculation.

To quote an old whiskey add: "Do you want the scotch you want to pay for or the scotch you want to drink?..."
For me, glass bottle > plastic bottle > fountain > can.
I don't like canned sodas. They taste wrong, and I hate the way they feel against my mouth.

I can understand that. I have a friend who is the same with beer. They will not drink it as it tastes terrible to them.
That lovely plastic lining taste of canned, with the taste of aluminum as well. Honestly glass bottle hits different, but i don't drink soda anymore
Plastic bottled is garbage. I like an aluminum can ok. Glass bottled is pretty good. But you're mistaken about fountain.
