Definatley is better out of the glass bottles. Maybe something to do with all the chemicals that leech out of the cheap 'type 2' plastics that the bottles are made of - some are even 'type 1'!

I'm of the opinion that nothing beats water though - don't drink other stuff that much anymore.

Easy to say if you've got a choice. If you could ONLY choose between Pepsi MAX and Diet Coke, I doubt you'd go for the Diet Coke...

i think all of the above myths would be accurate, but i think it would be for the pure syrup, not the coke we buy.
From an insider..... YES one of the parts of the ingredients is corrosive and under Transport regs must display a Dangerous goods sign when being moved.

as i said earlier. coca cola, the brand coke, not just the drink cola in general, is the NUMBER 1 SELLING item in the store.

I think it would have been about that time. I prefered Pepsi before they changed it. As for Coke, I think it tastes better out of a can. Diet Coke is absolute crap. The Caffiene free Diet Coke was possibly the worst tasting drink ever created. The after taste was horrid.

Coke has a ph of 2, whereas acid rain has a ph of 4 :

Vin Diesel invented Coke when he ran out of ice while drinking a magnum bottle of bourbon...

Oh, and regarding water "corroding" the grand canyon, and air "corroding" sand dunes, the process is erosion.

Erosion = physical weathering of a material
Corrosion = chemical weathering of a material (which coke would do e )

Vin Diesel made the Grand Canyon after taking inspiration from the latest Paddle Pop advert
