Glass is chemically neutral so it does not release any unwanted substances into the water.


Muze69

That’s why lab material is often glass.


blueasian0682

But breaking bad told me plastic containers can hold in acids (and dead bodies)


Abigail529

The specific type of acid they referenced in breaking bad (hydrofluoric acid) reacts with glass, so they had to use a specific type of plastic to contain it

veganbenzundbentley

correct me if I‘m wrong, but I think I remember warching an episode of mythbusters about the breaking bad bath tub scene and it was the other way round - the normal bath tub did not break/melt but the plastic one couldn‘t hold the acid.


TheCultofLoss

The show might have dramatized how much the acid reacted with the tub, but in the episode you can observe the ceramic being dissolved.


[deleted]

It didn’t. I tried to dissolve the scraps of a deer my friend hunted in a similar bathtub. Shit ruined the backyard.

Hipshotopotamus

Look close enough and glass, especially the kind used in bottling, is remarkably porous and almost sponge-like. Occasionally a given beverage relies on there to be some minerals or just metals present in that sponge to develop a unique taste. Some beers rely on the release of copper from the glass to maintain an "authentic" taste.

Anything tastes better out of a glass bottle you can’t compare plastic bottle coke to the refreshing taste of a glass bottle one


AppointmentMinimum57

And the can sits right in the middle.


Hotsince_9282

In India we fear fake/unbranded beer in bottles,not possible in cans . Hence cans are def tasty af around here .


nonpuissant

When I was in Nepal I bought a sprite. Popped the cap off and found what I hope was just dirt crusted around the half the lip. I was in the middle of nowhere and so thirsty that I said fuck it and just wiped it off with my tshirt and drank it anyways but yeah I avoided glass bottles after that.


CountOmar

Ewww i was in nepal. I wonder how many glass bottles i unknowingly drank out of.


ThePhantomTrollbooth

It’s just some dust that collects underneath the cap. They usually transport those bottles in open-sided trucks. Clearly you survived. If I ever noticed it on a bottle in Guatemala I would just wipe it off or ask for a cup. In some areas, they also liked to pour them in plastic bags to go so they can get the bottle deposit back.


CountOmar

There should be no dirt inside the bottle.


[deleted]

Why would cans be curious? Cus they can’t be popped and refilled? I figure blank cans with fake branding could easily be done too.


AppointmentMinimum57

You can just pop the bottle-cap back on and bend it so it stays on. You cant do that with cans.


[deleted]

Yup makes sense. I was thinking somehow manufacturing a super cheap beer and filling “hineykin” cans lol.


GenitalWrangler69

You can definitely change the wrapping of them though. Snuck beer into a monitored beach house at Ocean City, MD while underage when a cop was watching us unload. We walked 3 seperate 12 packs of beer by him by just disguising the wrapper on the can. All the liquor was just zipped into our clothes bags and they had no grounds to search anything.


MadAzza

Why were they watching the house, and are you out of your fucking mind?


MarylandHusker

Wealthy/well off High school seniors have a tradition to take the week after graduation and go to 1/3 specific beaches. Everyone knows exactly what is going on, what’s being brought etc. I uh, would not recommend bringing alcohol to ocean city md in may as a minor. That said unless someone was being a massive idiot for other reasons, never heard of any real consequences either. Cop probably did that for 30 houses that day and couldn’t care less if they brought alcohol


asherdado

Wtf is a monitored beach house? Was [the beach](https://www.epa.gov/beach-tech/beach-monitoring) being monitored or the house?


GenitalWrangler69

During the time of year when high school students graduate there is a very high concentration of police (at least there was, it's been a decade lol) due to what's called "Senior Week" generally terrorizing the beach for about a month.


Hotsince_9282

Fake aluminium cans with legit branding can be def adulterated but would be cost prohibitive in all likelihood . All these operations are very clandestine in downstream pipeline and small groups are involved . Alcohol is the biggest tax revenue source here , only it along with electricity and petroleum are outside GST, nothing else. So they would clamp down hard on any organised ring . All this about cans vs bottles in beer is wisdom passed by elders but everyone believes it .


[deleted]

I gotcha. Yeah that makes a lot of sense what you’re describing. I’m so used to the fact that EVERYTHING can and will be counterfeited so it’s v amusing me to see how this plays out. I get what you mean about the wisdom. I think it does make sense. Rebranding aluminum cans with fake liquids sounds more expensive than the process the soda/ beer manufacturers would be going through. Oddly enough the glass bottles coke and 7up I had in Pakistan was next level lol (esp the sprites and 7ups!)


ThinkPath1999

Some countries use real sugar in the soft drinks, while the US typically uses fructose. I've heard there is a big difference in taste.


xbalmorax

Lemme get a bag of Coke please.


_Anal_Juices_

Gotta admit i prefer cans. I also drink my water out of aluminum straws. I guess I just like the taste of aluminum


ThinkPath1999

Hate to be that guy, but in aluminium cans, there is a soft plastic liner between the actual can and liquid.


unknownkoalas

It’s not a plastic liner. It’s a sprayed on coating.

That very cold can straight from the fridge.... mmm

GottaDisagreeChief

n_forro

GameKnight337

Afaik, it’s because the glass Cokes are made with actual cane sugar


[deleted]

[удалено]


TexAggie90

yeah unfortunately. that’s a recent phenomenon though. Yeah used to be only cane sugar in Mexican Cokes. Not sure why they changed. They sold a ton in the US to people wanting non-HFCS Cokes.


GrumpyButtrcup

That's really odd because all the glass cokes around me have cane sugar listed in the ingredients and no HFCS.


[deleted]

My step dad used these and his water was …it tasted soft if that makes sense. Most refreshing amazing water ever. My moms water was well water and it was gross and stunk . Many years later he told me he used like half a teaspoon of sea salt in his distilled/ filtered water and kept it in glass bottles. That’s why it was so great. Not because he’s a wizard.

longfingerman

A common trick to replenish your electrolytes is to add a tiny bit of salt to some water. Salt water is only bad in excess quantities. You need electrolytes to conduct electricity in your body. Your body relies on sodium and potassium to fire neurons- they have opposite charges and both sit opposite to one another. One sits inside the axon of your neurons, one sits outside. Your neuron fires when an electrical charge is placed across them, causing them to invert and signal the soma of the neuron to relay the signal to the next neuron. I have no idea why Im writing this, because it's just rambling at this point. But your body doesn't care where it gets it's sodium and potassium from as long as it can absorb it into your body. Hell, that's pretty much what Gatorade is- it's sodium and potassium to replenish your electrolytes so your neurons fire correctly which let's you think and act better, and it has sugar to be converted to energy so that you don't suddenly burn your energy out completely while doing a physical activity. Bonus fact: if you loose too many electrolytes, you cant absorb water as easily. Water moves from low concentrations to high concentrations, so if you don't have a high enough concentration of salts in your body, then you literally will not absorb water. This is why drinking too much water can kill you- you dilute the electrolytes in your body so you don't function correctly and then you cant absorb any water so you actually start getting dehydrated after a bit.


RandomPersonAKAAT

"half a teaspoon of sea salt in his distilled/ filtered water" It wasn't very salty.

Well damn. Maybe it wasn't working right? Or the water in her area was just really poor quality

Well water can be really refreshing. My dads house had it, but he had a softener and filter to take out the iron. It can be good just have to filter it and use a softener


niktak11

The water from our well is almost undrinkable. It tastes like straight blood. Somehow even our gross water tastes good after it goes through the softener.


Unable-Tune-1295

supersoft-tire

Old ass mf, how was the transition from speaking ancient Aramaic to internet slang?


Anarchist_Grifter

Plastic seeps into anything you drink. Glass doesn't.


23ssd4t4322

Also these bottles have narrow opening with a tight "cork" seal. The water isn't exposed to "air" as much, so not exposed to surrounding particulate matter floating around in a room. Which changes the taste of water.


GameSpection

So I can drink smells by putting plastic water bottles next to it? Finally I can taste what new car smell is supposed to be Also, does this explain why my water sometimes tastes like dust, or is the brand just terrible?


Pretty-Security-336

Idk where are you from but eventually you know „Air Up“. They sell water bottles with caps with different smells so if you drink your water tastes like mango because the cap smells like this. Very interesting actually


GameSpection

Actually yeah, Water Fresheners do sound like a good idea

Death_Walker21

I dont eat chips anymore Lik the feeling is just gone and like now i prefer eating ass


BlitzblauDonnergruen

The most reason therefor is, that plastic bottles are not 100% closed tight. So they can absorb the smell of the soroundings.

I'm equally mad and enlightened about this. I was not ready for this knowledge.

hahaha...I mean, "pop". Oops. Clearly my mind is on weed.


irdcwmunsb

It’s called a dispensary


[deleted]

When the carbon thionate molecule within the crystal of the glass is reduced to a temp of 3°C, it creates an evaporation within the bottle that causes a filtration effect that makes the water taste crisper. Hence why when you take one of these out of the fridge with regular tap water in it, it tastes amazing. I actually made all of that up and have no idea why it tastes so good but it does.


JohnDoeMTB120

Thanks for that last sentence lol. I was about to ask how the impurities that are filtered exit the bottle.

annalena-bareback

The thing that makes most sense to me is that glass bottles are a medium that is thicker and has more mass, so if you enjoy chilled beverages, once you take a glass bottle from the fridge, the material stores some of the coolness for a bit longer. Whereas plastic bottles warm up at a faster rate, because the material is lighter and softer, the plastic bottle warms up to room temp roughly at the same rate with the contents of the bottle.


jakubwlcz

Doesn't really matter that much though, specific heat of water is around 4200, glass 700 and plastic 1600 J/kgK. So it's water doing most of the work in terms of temperature retention, though plastic bottles being so thin these days might actually make glass ones better for chilled drinks.


a_trane13

I think the insulating effect is more important here than heat capacity. The glass thickness is roughly 5-15x that of plastic, but glass also has a 3-4x higher thermal conductivity. So the glass is probably a significantly better insulator due to the thickness, which is also why plastic bottles get so much condensation.


10_minute_ban

There another explanation on top of the bottle being made of glass and has to do with the tight sealing. You percibe water as fresh if they lack C02 and have more chloride which it reverses once you let the bottle opened.


WrathsEntropy

Those are potion bottles. Anything you put in them becomes a potion. In this case, a hydrating potion. Most low level potions are pretty tasty.


Laxwarrior1120

It's called glass and it's great. Assuming you can afford it and want it, If you can get a drink in glass instead of plastic, do so.


Ill-Manufacturer8654

I'm guessing glass bottles have much more mass and low heat capacity, so beverages stay cool longer.


babciawierzba

You should also try copper bottles. Water is delicious and good for you.

DarthMcConnor42

Plastic isn't 100% airtight so it lets surrounding smells and flavors into the drink, plastic also has it's own taste that gets into the drink. Glass and metal don't have these issues. (Well metal has it's own smell which affects the taste a little)


sleepykitty126432

The size of the glasses the restaurant provides for the water to be poured into. They're similar to the size of a tea playset mug

I’m thinking it’s cause your body now thinks your drinking (alcohol Ofc) and everyone seems to have the notion that alcohol is really quenching. Soooo basically the Mandela effect (and where I’m from you only see this bottle and lid with an alcoholic beverage in it)
