At the World of Coke in Atlanta you can taste all the different versions. They change the flavor profile depending on the country so it suits people’s tastes more. It was a lot of fun to ‘travel the world of Coke’ as a kid. There are probably videos of the huge machine they use. It shoots Coke from a few feet away into your cup… or it used to.
You can get Sugar sweetened Coke in the US around Passover time in Jewish heavy markets, b/c many Jews don't use corn products on Passover. So in the South, say the Dunwoody area of Georgia or say North Dallas/Far North Dallas, you can get it for 3 months out of the year. Or go to the North East or Miami area of Florida, etc. Anywhere there is a substantial Jewish community.
This was hilarious! Now they need to do a Bless Your Rank “Which Coca-Cola is the best? Plastic Bottle? Can? Fountain Drink from McDonalds? Or Glass Bottle”
Former lab tech from both Pepsi and Coke here. There are differences between bottled product and the syrup sold to restaurants. After that, the difference is in CO2/ water and syrup ratio, how clean they keep their machines and the quality of the water used. There really is a difference.
@@Divine14u The water that is used to bottle sodas is filtered but comes from the municipality. By law, there are requirements that need to be met and all ingredients used are tested before, during and after production. So much goes into making this simple product because there are so few ingredients....you can tell if one of them is off.
@@zahmmy1 I'm guessing that when product was in shirt supply, they cut corners during production at that time, because the product that's out there now is sewage. Which really sucks because I e been an all time drinker of mountain dew for years and when they came out with mountain dew real sugar? I was sold! But now, they all taste the same.
@@Divine14u Sorry to answer so late....I just received a notification today. Corners can never be cut during production, it is against the law and testing is done for every batch of syrup made and for all ingredients down to which section of the field the tangerines for Mt Dew were grown on and what date/time they were picked. It is called Traceability and is a system developed to know where a problem started if there are any issues with a product and someone tries to sue the manufacturer-believe me, they don't want to give up any money. The water going into the bottled or canned product is filtered through many dif processes and tested continuously. If you are drinking bottled/canned product and it tastes dif, not sure what to say about that. But if you are drinking a fountain Mt Dew-made in a store from syrup, CO2 and water, again, cleanliness of the machine and the local water make all the dif.💚
Glad ya’ll got this one right! There is a definite difference. As a former McD’s manager, I can tell you that Mickey D’s has a very strict policy on the syrup packaging & CO2 ratio of their Cokes
I've always heard that McDonald's (and most other fountain drinks) have heavier amount of syrup in the ratio than from the factory. Any idea if this is actually true or just an urban myth?
@@mda187 Temperature has all to do with it. As another former McD manager, the water is at 34 degrees. AND the syrup and carbonation all mix at that temperature. That's why it has that special fizz that others don't. Even the diet coke hits that way.
Without question glass bottle is the best. I definitely feel blessed because my family was lucky enough to get a Coke machine from the 50s or 60s that you only put glass bottles in, one of my great uncles worked at Coke during that time and when they changed machines they told the workers to just get rid of them and my uncle took all of the ones he replaced repaired all of them and then gave me to family members and friends that wanted a Coke machine. There’s truly nothing like a Coke in a glass bottle that’s be chilled right before freezing point.
I can say one thing for ALL Coke, Pepsi and Dr Pepper, since covid hit a year ago, the company's have redefined the mixture and I can say 100% none of them tastes the same as they once did. Now they ALL taste horrible! Doesn't matter if you buy them from the store or at a fast food restaurant, the taste is very bad.
I wrote an article for my southern newspaper about 50 years ago, featuring taste tests of large vs small bottles of Coca-Cola. I interviewed the local bottling CEO about why they were adamant there was no possible difference in taste between the two. The best part was when I found out he drank small bottles, "because," he said, "I finish the small ones while they are still cold." I even heard from their lawyers, but because we didn't include a Registered Trademark symbol after every use of the product name. Glad to see the debate still making news.
Howdy from Jorja, the home of Coca~Cola! I always buy Mexican coke instead of regular because of the sugar. The American original (flavored with corn syrup) just can't compete. Also, whenever the Georgia Peach flavor is in the store I always buy three packs. Those are my absolute all-time favorite flavor of Coca~Cola.
None of these matter, the best Coke available in the United States is Mexican Coca-Cola, made with sugar instead of corn syrup. And the ability to smell rain ahead of time is absolutely a normal superpower. My entire family has for decades insisted that I'm either strangely lucky or have access to some bizarre weather service. They also drink artificially sweetened Coke. Coincidence? You be the judge.
Glass bottle all day! I’m so glad Barq’s made a contract with Coke when they sold them their company that Coke still had to produce root beer in glass bottles. I don’t drink soda often but when I get a poboy the glass bottled Barq’s has to come with it. 😋
@@kyscco24 I live in Southern Mississippi where the Barq’s family lived. There’s also a Coca-Cola bottling company in town. It’s fairly easy to find them here but you can usually find them if you look elsewhere. I know they aren’t as easy to come by in other states. If you’re ever in the Biloxi/Ocean Springs area of MS stop by a Marathon gas station and get a made to order PoBoy with a bottled Barq’s. Lil’ Rays in Gulfport is amazing too.👩🍳 💋
Yes, I've always noticed a certain sharpness when drinking from a can that isn't there from the plastic bottle even when both are chilled to the same temp.
@@reeceyb505 I agree…but I don’t much care for the thought of drinking too much aluminum!! Idk how real this is but I’ve heard concerns linking aluminum ingestion to Alzheimer’s…I honestly believe people should go back to using glass. Infinitely recyclable, no harmful chemicals, doesn’t react chemically with its contents…and if it gets broken or smashed or dropped in the ocean it’s basically just another rock or some sand that will get eroded. Too bad it’s so heavy.
Definitely tastes different. Agreed! I won’t drink it out of a plastic bottle. Glass is best. Can second. Fountain varies on the mix. Great episode! And never, ever Pepsi. Never. 😝
Fountains do vary, but when I get an ice cold coke with ice from Mcdonald's or a movie theater out of the machine and it is spot on, there is no better tasting coke. How about taking a canned coke at home and pouring it into a frozen glass cup? Do u think that opens up the flavors of the soda more like a beer?
That is one of the most fun videos y'all have done in a very long time. I love when y'all are just having a good time. The icing on the cake was Talia blowing over the glass bottle top.
I definitely prefer a can over a plastic bottle. Unfortunately, and I assume it's similar all over the US, the price of cans has gone up greatly while it's way cheaper to get 2 liter bottles. Which inevitably go flat in a few days.
Aluminum leaches in to the soda, beer etc in the cans, and leads to Alzheimers disease

"in a few days". A 2 l bottle of coke doesn't make it two days (it still tends to get flat-ish… too much room in the bottle). But… they don't really fit in my fridge anyway.
My preference is the 6 pack of 16.9 oz. bottles ( of Diet Dr. Pepper). If they had glass bottles, that would be great, but they don't. My main problem with cans is that I waste a lot since I rarely finish one, and then they go flat. I can screw the cap back on the small bottles and finish them a couple of hours later - and they're not flat!
Yes, you can be THAT specific on the grade of Coca-Cola in that four variants if they were opened/formed within the last 10 minutes together. Fountain drink version is the easiest by far to tell.
This is why I reward myself with the fountain drink after grocery shopping -- to me it's the best tasting of the four. The kids prefer the glass bottle.
When we used to drink Coke, we always checked where it was bottled. Coke tastes different from bottling plant to bottling plant due to the local water. Coke from the Texas plant tasted best.
Good for y'all! What I miss are the 7-oz bottles from the local bottlers (yes, there were local bottlers, probably before most of y'all were born.). The local bottlers would add slightly different amounts of syrup. And the bottler in Etowah, TN was generous with the syrup. They were great! And don't even get a Pepsi (spit) close to me! Yuck!A And don't forget Coke was first bottled in Chattanooga, TN (also home to Moon Pies and Little Debbies!)
I hate when you order a Coke in a restaurant, and instead of telling you they don't carry Coke they bring Pepsi instead. Their response to me noticing is always the same, "wow, most people can't tell the difference".
The smelling of rain before it gets here is a super power. I live with someone who grew up down South. He will tell me it is going to rain and I would say, weather network says NO Rain. Sure enough 40 minutes later raining. If rain is predicted he will sniff and say no rain for at least a couple of hours ( he is ALWAYS right).
Matt: If I stick my head out the door or go outside, I can smell rain upwards of half an hour before it arrives, but my mom (gone 32 years now, I miss you, Mom!) could do that without going outdoors. And, she also ALWAYS knew what I was doing, even if I was 50 miles away.
I'm surprised that there are people who can't smell anything before it rains. It's caused by a chemical in soil produced by bacteria that gets tossed up into the air during rainfall. It's carried in the air for many miles a lot faster than rain clouds move, so you can smell it before the clouds get there. It is one of those chemicals, like vanilla, that the human nose is very sensitive to. In other words, humans are built to detect incoming rain with their nose. So if you can't smell it, you need to blow your nose or something, I dunno. A real "superpower" is that some people can smell ozone from lighting strikes over the horizon and tell that it is a storm coming and not just rain. I can do this. Nobody else in my family can that I know of. I think you just have to have a really sensitive sniffer for that, which has its downsides let me tell you.
Thanks to years of sinus troubles due to allergies, it's hard for me to smell an oncoming rainstorm. My brother pointed out something interesting, though: The leaves on deciduous trees invert vein side up when it's going to rain, so I look for that instead.
Before watching the video I was thinking, "They're all going through plastic straws, that's potentially going to change the taste". Apparently not enough, though. Well done everyone!👏
@@lawr5764 True, but I was thinking that it would make the non plastic containers taste plasticky, and therefore difficult to differentiate. I was wrong.
Matt randomly stating his not useful 'super powers': " I can also smell rain before it gets here." Me ( from up north -Indiana but born and raised in Cleveland, OH): " I can smell snow before it gets here" 🤔 now I'm curious about that smelling rain super power , Matt! 😝🧐 Also, on the tasting coca cola contest...y'all are way better than me. I'm not sure I'd have gotten one of them right! Nice!
Yay! That was filled with funny thoughts, and it confirmed my assumption that there is a distinguishable difference in the taste of Coca Cola depending on the vessel.
Long ago coke had a store in vegas that displayed the various botlling plants and had samples of each in bottles for you to try. The admitted the flavor mix was different mostly due to the water used. It may be better water filttration now or the mix has change. Temperature and carbonation. Mc D is always served on ice. Thus there may be more suryp flavor until it melted. The new vending machines now have 100 flavors and you can mix your own coke
Coke in a glass bottle. With real sugar instead of high fructose corn syrup. And in honor of my Great Aunt Marjorie, God bless her soul, in a little bottle. She used to say that nobody needed more than seven ounces of Coca Cola. She was a God fearing, Church of Christ going woman, and she just knew that God wouldn’t want you to have too much fun.

Looking up how much 7 fl oz are… OMG, that's one gulp! No, no, no, that's really not enough Coke.
@@TheDalisama I live in Central Texas. You can get Mexican Coke at every gas store here. I’m well aware that it’s still made with sugar. You can also look for Coke that’s Kosher for Passover once a year, depending on where you live. Some bottlers make it available for their Jewish customers and it’s made with sugar instead of high fructose corn syrup, which some Jews avoid for Passover.
Love it in a COLD, GLASS bottle or pour it over a little ice in a GLASS drinking glass....not plastic....and it tastes amazing as an occasional treat! I can tell the difference too & the original Coca-Cola Classic in a glass container is the BEST. 👏 👏 👏
We southerners have many powers, one being that we don’t need a meteorologist to tell us the weather or when it will rain. If your born and raised in the south, y’all know what I am talking about
I think the straw itself can give hints to what the container is. There’s just a feeling a straw has resting against an aluminum edge and fast food top. Still great to watch!
I'm incredibly impressed lol. This is one of those things that I would voice an incredibly strong opinion on and then get down to it and get it all wrong lol
Commenting before watching the video. I despise plastic bottled sodas for two reasons. First, the waste plastic leaves behind. Secondly, I swear up and down (and others I know too) there is a stark difference in flavor/taste of plastic bottle sodas versus other containers. For any sodas I do drink, I prefer to consume them from either glass bottle, tin can, or fountain style (in that order). Sodas in plastic bottles turn my taste buds upside down now-a-days.
Even I can tell the difference between a plastic bottle, can, glass bottle, and a cup. Try having 4 of the same containers, different colored straws, don't tell them ones this or that, and test whether they can say they're all the same container. THAT, would be a funny video!
I have hard and fast opponent's on coke containers. Great line! Reminds me when I asked my brother-in-law the difference between coke and Pepsi. He had a surprisingly lot to say, and they all were good points.
Matt Mitchell, don’t even think about packing up your taste buds and retiring! You haven’t even judged pork rinds yet!
Ooh! Pork King Good!
@@cathipalmer8217 try freshly made ones or go to a Mexican supermarket and you'll find a huge one
Or hotdogs.
Catfish breading be a good one too.
If you've ever had a Mexican Coke, you'd know there are major differences not just in packaging, but they change the flavor profile as well.
oh that's because it's sweetened with real sugar.
sugar and corn syrup makes beverages taste different.

Liz, did you say soda?!
We're gonna need your Southern card now
These folks are sooo entertaining 💙😊❤
Before watching the video I was thinking, "They're all going through plastic straws, that's potentially going to change the taste". Apparently not enough, though. Well done everyone!👏
If it's the SAME type of plastic straw in each sample, it'll change the flavors the same way for each, anyway.
@@lawr5764 True, but I was thinking that it would make the non plastic containers taste plasticky, and therefore difficult to differentiate. I was wrong.
All the sodas tasted a lot better when they were in glass bottles! Wish we could go back to that, and go back to turning the empties in for a deposit!
So proud of all of you.
Matt randomly stating his not useful 'super powers': " I can also smell rain before it gets here."
Me ( from up north -Indiana but born and raised in Cleveland, OH): " I can smell snow before it gets here" 🤔 now I'm curious about that smelling rain super power , Matt! 😝🧐
Also, on the tasting coca cola contest...y'all are way better than me. I'm not sure I'd have gotten one of them right! Nice!
Swapping out the bottles and cans would have been nice between contestants 😂🤣😂
Yay! That was filled with funny thoughts, and it confirmed my assumption that there is a distinguishable difference in the taste of Coca Cola depending on the vessel.
I've never seen ya'll get every one of them right, that's a pretty clear result. I knew there was a difference!
If you want quality, glass bottle is the only way to go. If you want low price, then go for cans.
Long ago coke had a store in vegas that displayed the various botlling plants and had samples of each in bottles for you to try. The admitted the flavor mix was different mostly due to the water used. It may be better water filttration now or the mix has change. Temperature and carbonation. Mc D is always served on ice. Thus there may be more suryp flavor until it melted. The new vending machines now have 100 flavors and you can mix your own coke
Great job you guys. So glad Stuck with your gut.
We've always said we can taste the difference too! Glass is best!
With the paper cup, you can sometimes tastes the cup. Not sure if it's the paper/cardboard or the specialty wax that coats the cup...Maybe both? 🤔
Love this channel! The food comparisons are the best videos. Matt's my fav
I'm glad they all won. That's actually insane. 🤣
Coke in a glass bottle. With real sugar instead of high fructose corn syrup. And in honor of my Great Aunt Marjorie, God bless her soul, in a little bottle. She used to say that nobody needed more than seven ounces of Coca Cola. She was a God fearing, Church of Christ going woman, and she just knew that God wouldn’t want you to have too much fun.
Looking up how much 7 fl oz are… OMG, that's one gulp! No, no, no, that's really not enough Coke.
You have to get Mexican coke. Regular Coke in a glass bottle is still made with HFCS.
@@TheDalisama I live in Central Texas. You can get Mexican Coke at every gas store here. I’m well aware that it’s still made with sugar. You can also look for Coke that’s Kosher for Passover once a year, depending on where you live. Some bottlers make it available for their Jewish customers and it’s made with sugar instead of high fructose corn syrup, which some Jews avoid for Passover.
I am so proud of them!! I've always been able to tell the difference too! Glass bottles all the way from Mexico are the way to go!
Love it in a COLD, GLASS bottle or pour it over a little ice in a GLASS drinking glass....not plastic....and it tastes amazing as an occasional treat! I can tell the difference too & the original Coca-Cola Classic in a glass container is the BEST. 👏 👏 👏
We southerners have many powers, one being that we don’t need a meteorologist to tell us the weather or when it will rain. If your born and raised in the south, y’all know what I am talking about
This was awesome y'all! I enjoyed this greatly 🙌🏼💜
This channel makes me aware of and challenges a lot of implicit bias I have about southerners, and I love it!
I am from the NW and like Matt, I can smell rain before it falls but doubt I could tell which container a coke is in! Good job all of you!!!
And in nyc we can sniff out bagel shop from miles and (before it falls) the snow..😂😝
Best channel. 😂😂😂😅😅😅
I am addicted to your content and I don’t even live in the South. 😩🤣🥴
I am German 🥰
Why was I so excited and rooting for y'all? You can tell the difference!
Little glass bottles chilled to perfection... Aww, now that is Coke Cola!
My preference is fountain coke, then glass bottle, then can, last is plastic bottle
I love watching your videos!
This is my new favorite video!
That was awesome. I knew there was a difference. This is important work y'all!!!☺🙃😄😀
I think the straw itself can give hints to what the container is. There’s just a feeling a straw has resting against an aluminum edge and fast food top.
Still great to watch!
Oh yeah, good point. Maybe they should pour each sample into a drinking glass. They would still be testing for what the Coke came out of.
I like how they recognized Mcdonald's.
This solidified the southern powers that be
I'm incredibly impressed lol. This is one of those things that I would voice an incredibly strong opinion on and then get down to it and get it all wrong lol
Awesome.
Now do taste tests with RC Cola, Pepsi, Faygo cola, Coke etc
This makes me want to try this taste test. Thanks for posting
The most Southern thing is yelling in delighted surprise and then immediately apologizing for being loud.
Matt, smelling the rain before it comes is a super power. IT IS.
Coke in a glass bottle with peanuts!
Commenting before watching the video. I despise plastic bottled sodas for two reasons. First, the waste plastic leaves behind. Secondly, I swear up and down (and others I know too) there is a stark difference in flavor/taste of plastic bottle sodas versus other containers. For any sodas I do drink, I prefer to consume them from either glass bottle, tin can, or fountain style (in that order). Sodas in plastic bottles turn my taste buds upside down now-a-days.
Even I can tell the difference between a plastic bottle, can, glass bottle, and a cup. Try having 4 of the same containers, different colored straws, don't tell them ones this or that, and test whether they can say they're all the same container. THAT, would be a funny video!
You guys crack me up! You made my Sunday! You guys have skills!❤️❤️❤️❤️
Nothing tastes better than a cold Coca-Cola from McDonald's.
Yes they are different for sure and glass bottle is best.
Uhhh... If this was truly a Southern "Coke taste-test" then there should have been a Sprite and a Dr. Pepper in there.
I have hard and fast opponent's on coke containers. Great line! Reminds me when I asked my brother-in-law the difference between coke and Pepsi. He had a surprisingly lot to say, and they all were good points.
The fact that they are so happy about getting it right is so funny. And exactly how I'd react.
