One time I got into a discussion with a Coke representative because I could tell that they had changed how they lined the inside of aluminum cans. The representative said there is no way for people to taste the difference and I said unless it is not done properly. Basically what they do with aluminum cans is spray a thin layer of plastic inside. If all goes perfectly you get the best of both worlds. You get the plastic protecting you from the aluminum leaching into the soda and you get the long-term protection against fizz loss that you're going to have if it was just plastic alone.
That's right, in case you didn't know canned soda last significantly longer than bottle soda. But to be honest, fresh bottled soda typically tastes better with less aftertaste than canned soda.
You can back this up partially by looking at expiration dates at products at the grocery store. You will find the 2 l bottles and plastic bottles like these will have a much shorter expiration date than canned sodas from the same company. Well, soda close to the expiration date is okay. It definitely does not taste as good as it does further away. After it crosses the threshold, it definitely degrades. After my wife and I went on a non-soda period for a couple years, I had the pleasure of pouring out expired plastic bottles like this and expired cans from both manufacturers. Every single can no matter how expired. It was had plenty of fizz. The 1yr plus expired plastic was flat as water.
While we're on the topic, here's another interesting tidbit. I rarely can get soda at restaurants anymore because it is so often mixed incorrectly, used with flat soda or expired syrup or made with a dirty machine.
Traditional machines used in restaurants and public places, should be cleaned daily with them flushing the lines and hoses and calibrated once a month.
But that cost labor and people typically skip it these days.
It used to be that McDonald's would clean and calibrate their machines daily and the soda experience was so good and that Coke would actually recommend that as the golden standard to experience their product.
Those days are long gone. Just like most places, don't throw away their syrup once it expires.
Well, I do not care for Pepsi or most of Pepsi products, they are significantly more consistent with their product.
That has led me to drink more Pepsi than Coke these days, even though I'm a lifelong Coke fan.
The reality is that most people can't taste the difference between a fresh product and one that's not great to me at least as long as it's still a few months or a month away if it's plastic from its expiration date.
So why would people report that Amazon soda taste noticeably worse or even potentially flatter than soda from their grocery store?
It has to do with how it is stored. Amazon warehouses get significantly hotter than grocery store warehouses and their product sits significantly longer in most cases.
Grocery store warehouses are run in a first in first out order. Amazon's warehouses are not, that means it is common for the freshest to be shipped out first so the older stuff sits longer.
In addition to older soda being shipped out sometimes, temperature matters in soda storage just like it does in a lot of things like makeup. Amazon ignores this. They treat everything the same in their warehouses unless it requires refrigeration. That means that your soda in some cases is that near boiling temperatures in Amazon warehouses for months.
This is not my opinion. This is actual fact. Feel free to look into it further.
Amazon's response is that soda is transported and typically stored in unrefrigerated trucks and warehouses, which is true. What is not true is how hot the warehouses get and why that is different or how long product can sit in Amazon's warehouses because they don't use the same first in first out system.
