Why does canned Coke taste better than bottled Coke? Why does the first sip of Coke make you feel refreshed?

Happy Fat House Water can be said to be the favorite of many people. Many friends like to drink it, but the packaging of Happy Fat House Water is different, and the taste is unknown. Have you noticed that people are discussing whether canned cola is better than bottled cola on the Internet. I think canned cola is indeed more delicious. I don’t know if it’s just a psychological effect. Let’s find out!

Why Coke tastes better in cans than in bottles

Canned cola can store more carbon dioxide, but in bottled cola, carbon dioxide is easily lost. Secondly, bottled cola is transparent and more susceptible to chemical reactions caused by light, which greatly reduces the taste. Coke without gas is cola without soul, so sealed canned cola is more delicious! When drinking bottled cola, the cola is directly poured into the middle and back of the tongue, and the tongue cannot fully feel the dense and refreshing cola. However, when drinking canned cola, the first part of the tongue is in contact. The taste buds in the front part are richer, so the canned one tastes better. The reason why canned cola tastes better than bottled one is not because of the difference in its production. It is because of the difference in airtightness and usage habits, which ultimately lead to differences in taste.

Why do you feel refreshed when you take your first sip of Coke?

Drinking cola makes you feel good, largely because of the bubbles (carbon dioxide) in cola. The moment they burst on your tongue, it's like thousands of small firecrackers exploding, making you feel a series of piercing and hot pains. This pain begins to stimulate the pain mediator, causing the brain to produce endogenous morphine - endorphins.

Is the formula of Coke in cans different from that of Coke in bottles?

The Coca-Cola company has repeatedly stated that the formula of Coca-Cola has not changed. In fact, this phenomenon is very common in the sensory experience of food. Although delicious food and drink are taste and smell experiences, human sensory experience is a whole that affects each other. Other factors such as vision, hearing, touch, etc. will also affect the perception of taste and smell.
