ELI5: Why do sodas taste better in glass bottles and cans rather than plastic bottles?
gpt
One word friend: permeation.

So, plastic bottles are permeable as hell. They will lose water and CO2 over time. This will impact the flavor, how bubbly it is, and the “crispness” of the soda. Glass and aluminum are not as permeable so the formula stays relatively the same and doesn’t lose as much from permeation. On that note most plastic bottles are PET and it leaks like a sob.
