<div class="IPBDescription">Now with ice!</div> Ok. We all know coke from glass bottles tastes better due to it being more gassy or something like that. So I decided to refill my glass coke bottles with coke from a bottle! Genius!

But alas! I wanted ice with my coke but the neck of the bottle was too small for the ice cubes to fit though! Then I had a revelation!

Fill the bottle (Figure one) with a little bit of water. Just enough to cover the side of the bottle when it’s laying down. Stick it in the freezer for a few hours. Laying on it’s side of course. After it’s frozen it’s time to fill with coke! Mmmm, PLS.

BUT ALAS!! The powerful weapon of the ice against the bubbles in coke is as strong as ever. That’s right! FROST! This diabolical defence mechanism provides nucleation points for the gas in the coke. Rendering our fizzy and delicious beverage as flat as month old roadkill. Fear not! A simple and quick rinse with water will disarm the ice.

Now comes the Pièce de résistance! Figure two.

Mmmmm.

    Yah, but you drink out of a recycled bottle, as in, they just take it back and refill it and send it back. You don't throw them away ^^

    Coke and Pepsi are good. They taste different, so there can't be a real winner.

    just because things taste differently doesn't mean they can't be compared, some people prefer apples over oranges, some the other way around.

    And yes I know I'm a wierdo, but I love the taste of stuff from the can rather than plastic bottle. Yes, I know, i'm drinking metal can. But who cares it tastes good!

    I went on a Coke break for about 2 months once, instead drinking Sprite and Dr. Pepper.

    I've heard that 'dark' sodas tend to weaken your bones, causing osteoporosis and other complications. Not good. =/

    Personally, I'm starting to favour Royal Crown (RC) Cola. It's sold in Canada and parts of the US, take a look for it. Good stuff. It only costs CDN$1.50, here. I see Pepsi and Coke going to CDN$2.30-2.50 a bottle.

    I enjoy my ice-tea in a can (the only good kind of tea <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo--> - unless it's a tee). Room temperature, like I take all my sodas (but you have to drink them slightly quicker, but that doesn't factor in often).

    I can drink a 12-pack of ice-tea in about an hour.

    ...Granted I've got to pee a lot for the next six, but...whatever.

    Sure, it's not ice cold, but you only need them cold like that when it's 90 out (...it's like 35 C or something...).

    Dr. Pepper, Mountain Dew, the wierd Coke-based product opposed to Mountain Dew, Sprite (although the commercials are really annoying), Sierra Mist, Ice Teas (in cans), Mug Root Beer, Barq's Rootbeer and occasional Jolly Good sodas > Pepsi, Diet Pepsi, Coca-Cola, Diet Coke and Coca-Cola Classic (and all no caffeine variants thereof).


    ....room temperature ice tea from a can.....*burp* (goes good with those goldfish snack crackers when you're playing a game)

    the reason coke from a glass bottle is generally considered to taste better is that it is far purer than either from a can or a plastic.

    Plastic and aluminum both disolve in water (which coke is mostly made out of) over long periods of time, so trace ammounts of the container have dissolved into both cans of coke and plastic bottles of coke.

    Personally I find I can taste the aluminum far less then the plastic on average, but from a glass bottle is the way pop is meant to be drunk.

    Best, drink, ever. I'm drinking a glass bottle of it right now. It is made not too far from here so it's relatively cheap.
