It Tastes Nicer From The...

One thing that always puzzles me is how the same product tastes so different depending on its packaging.

Case in point; Can of Coke versus Bottle of Coke. Sooooo much nicer. In fact I'd rate a chilled can far better than a pub glass bottle even though they are nice.

Second case in point; 8 Square Dairy Milk v Dairy Milk of any other combination - just doesn't taste the same if it doesn't come out of the gold foil although the Easter Egg chocolate beats all.

Any others?

Someone else's chips.

+1 on the someone else's anything!

I agree with you completely on the can of coke front, I way prefer cans.
But maybe the smaller quantity products just "taste" better because you feel more inclined to eat all of the product, even if you aren't hungry for it all?


I can't ever taste a difference in a bottle of fresh, cold coke and a can unless I leave the bottle for longer meaning it goes cold and flat..


Hmmm! One to think about!

Something that doesn't belong to you though..

DEFINITELY tastes better.. Or the last bite of something, I usually leave the best looking bite of my meal til last :P

Lucozade is nicest when it comes out of the normal bottle. The biggeer bottle isn't great. The biggest bottle is horribe. The can isn't nice either.

Stolen is the best taste of all.
Moro's taste better from their old wrappers. The new boost style wrapper ruins em.

I saw the new moro wrappers. Now they look like.

Will have to give one a go and see what they're like!

The multi packs of 2's in the original, mint, orange and dark varieties are all foil wrapped


Also, strangely enough. I hate beans out of a container/new fridge pack. Only out of tins.


Always taste weird once you heat them from the fridge

And beans are nicer when they are heated in a pot rather than in the microwave.

Beans in microwave are blasphemous!

In a pot all the way.. And If you turn down the stove to just below mid temp, cook them really slowly. Even better I add loads of spices to mine so it probably lets them mingle a little longer.

The tiny mixer cans of coke are nicer.

The tiny '99 calorie' dairy milks are nicer.

The two finger kit kats are nicer.

Slow Show

Sneaky pringles out of a box when the owner isn't looking are the nicest thing in the world....

And rub the top so the kit-kat name gets embossed in the tin foil! The frys chocolate creams in tinfoil were better too.

Some others have good reasons

I much prefer it out of glass bottles, in most pubs people will pour it on ice, so they are diluting it and losing fizz too, in that case a can for me. The bigger glass bottles were better, 200ml is too small. A can is usually drank right away so fizzy and usually cold, a 500ml cold bottle does not feel as good on the lips as the plastic insulates, while the aluminium can transfers the cold to your lips too -better thirst quencher. The 2L bottles are more likely to be flat so a no-no

The thinner easter eggs (or those thin small dairy milks) will break up in the mouth and so get a lot more "melty" and easier to chew up.

Often beans in a microwave will have a few exploded ones, which seem sort of dry and ruin the lot.

I prefer chips sweating in the bag than on a plate, and this is not just chipper vs home chips, some burdocks are sit down or takeaway and I prefer the wrapped ones.

Ice Cream from a tub FTW. Hate when its put into a bowl. Always causes an argument between me and the BF, he thinks its best from a bowl.

emeraldstar

Of course! Almost not worth having if it's not from the tub

I enjoy KitKat Chunky's.. But they don't taste half as nice as the KitKat fingers..

Also I prefer the Jaffa Cake mini's than the bigguns!

Cidona from a glass tastes much better then from the bottle/can. That applies to some other carbonated drinks too. When your lips are creating an airtight seal around the bottle opening, maybe it doesn't allow the bubbles to aerate and the flavourings emanate in your mouth. Does that make sense?

The point is, carbonated drinks taste better from a glass.

I used to like Macaroon bars because they were wrapped with some sort of tasty paper-like wrapping. Things are different now though. You've changed Macaroon. You've changed.

Am I the only one who prefers coke out of the plastic 500ml bottle??

another one op: curry chips are nicer out of the foil tub, instead of the plastic tub..

+1 on the foil tub. Dislike the scorched left hand afterwards. Those tubs get mighty hot!

YoureSoVain

Thank you for agreeing with me..... I've always said coke tastes better out of can. I won't drink milk from a plastic container either, has to be from a carton.

squeakyduck

When chipsticks changed their packaging to the foil pack they tasted so much nicer for some reason.

Coke in epic from a can, but nothing and i mean NOTHING tastes better than coke with ice on a sweltering day!

Asphyxia

Coke - glass bottle followed by can

Milk - nicer in the carton than the plastic bottle

Popcorn - Cinema popcorn always taste nicer

Hot chocolate - Cadburys is horrible Aero and Butlers is best
