Is it me? Or did Coke in glass bottles taste better than the stuff that comes in the "eco-friendly" recyclable plastic crap?
The modern Coke sold in America has fructose sweetener and doesn't taste the same.
Mexican Coke has sugar and tastes like the old Coke.
The Cokes that came out of the Coke Machine that my Dad had at his Business in the late 50’s tasted the best. They were Ice Cold and there was a little burn when you chugged it down.
They were the 6.5 oz. Bottles and you had to push the crank lever mechanism to get the drink out of the machine. I saw the same machine on one of those Renovation Shows. Another thing for my Lotto Winner list.
I think they cost a nickel or a dime back in 1959.

I’ve always thought coke tasted better in the glass bottle too. Coke in cans or plastic looses it’s flavor.I still get the small bottles(6oz. I believe) sometimes,although expensive.Ah,the good ole days.
Someone may have beaten me to this, but the old Coke had real sugar in it (cane or beet I suppose) instead of the high fructose corn syrup in Coke and virtually all sodas today.
Coke was made with cane sugar back then and it did taste better.
There is really nothing better than one of those short cokes in a glass bottle ice cold. Coke is an excellent soda, and I’m not a soda fan.
It’s not just you. It does taste better from glass and with real cane sugar.
Notice that beer is still sold in glass bottles.
