    08:35 The moment they said No.2 tasted like cough syrup, I knew it was the glass bottle coke.
    Coke was originally created as a form of medicine back in the days, and thus, it wouldn't taste very good - unless you happen to be one of the ones that like that sort of thing.
    They said earlier that the glass bottle coke creator hadn't changed their recipe since they started 100 years ago, that means it would still taste more like some kind of medicine than actual soda.

      It just double take, sometimes when you taste something and then change to something else the flavor can be bad, so you sample it again to see if it was just the difference in product or it just tastes that bad.
      The reason why some food or even sweets taste so awful after you brush your teeth. Like when you drink Orange juice a few minutes after brushing your teeth in the morning.

    Late to the party here, but at the start of this video my 1st thought was "I wonder if they'll take co-packing into account" and there, at the end, they did. It would be interesting if they compared processing/packaging. I live in Maine, where B&M Baked Beans ruled until the brand was bought out. Now the product is a pale shadow of what it was (runnier, slightly undercooked, sweeter). Anyone in the know knows to look for the few remaining cans made in Maine and to avoid those from NJ.

    05:01 From the "This one is slightly sweeter" I could accurately tell that the middle one was bottled Diet Coke, the left (right for them) was can, and the "slightly sweeter" was the Dispenser Diet Coke.
    Dispenser soda is a mixture between carbonated water and soda syrup, syrup has a more sweeter taste to it, especially if the mixing isn't as watered out as I am used to.
    Bottled coke fizzes a lot, so that middle glass being the bottled coke was a no brainer.
    Then that only left the canned coke.

Examples: I have quit, I had quit and I will quit are examples of past, present, and future tense uses of the word quit. Quitted is not a word it's considered improper grammar for the most part; it's similar to how fish is singular and plural when talking about a single type of fish and the adjective before the word fish determines its quantity. The word fishes as a noun is not the plural of fish it's only plural when used to describe 2 or more types of fish.

      usually the stores don't have "extra labels" so they wouldn't be able to do that. They also usually don't have a way to make a single individual label outside of like a standard print out on paper which then no one would buy unless it was discounted. Which at that point it would just be easier to send back with the next truck and have it delivered to the proper store or tossed if it's a perishable good.

    The fact that he can differentiate between can and bottle when they aren't in those containers is impressive. I always assumed the different flavor was from my mouth touch metal versus plastic.

      When it comes to Cola products I prefer cans. When root beer I prefer fountain.

      @@taphoacuahang3577 true but I also take in the convenience factor of not having to deal with glass. Also fountain tends to have a random effect on flavor because variables such as: source of water, water to flavoring ratio, the carbonation level, etc. I like fountain mainly because most of the time it's slightly over carbonated relative to the other forms.

      Oh i can tell too...however im shocked that he choose fountain.....can is the best bar none. The fizz is unbeatable from a can and has this distinct taste. Fountain is just too flat and "watery".

      @@ariez84 On Diet Dr. Pepper, I prefer can. I can fit more in my mini fridge and it just tastes right. Bottle is second for taste and it's harder to knock over and spill. Fountain is sometimes just hard to find where I usually go.
