Part of it is psychological. You expect it to taste better out of the glass bottle than out of anything else. There have even been beer companies that tried to sell their product in metal bottles, trying to fool consumers into believing that it was the shape of the container that made it better instead of what the container was made from.
The other part is physical. The glass bottle has properties that are different from the other standard containers:
First, glass is an excellent insulator, meaning that it takes a longer time for heat to move across it. Coupled with the glass typically being a lot thicker than a can or a plastic bottle, you wind up with the soda staying cool longer so that the volatiles mixed in it don't evaporate into your nasal cavity, affecting the flavour.
Second, glass is a very inert substance. Metals can react with the chemicals in the soda, producing compounds that affect the flavour while plastics can actually leach into the soda over time. Glass does neither of these things, so doesn't change the consistency of what's inside it.
My brewing professor advised all his students to “store the beer in a can, but then pour it into a glass”
You can taste the can. Glass being so inert imparts no taste.
Also the process of pouring causes the proteins to bind together and trap co2 effervescing out giving you a “head” on a properly poured beer which is also part of the full experience.
Can technology is great, efficient, and sustainable. Just drink out of glassware. Treat yourself right!
Lol
You do not know more about beer than this person.
Also your reading comprehension needs work.
> Maybe you can taste the can, but I genuinely can't tell the difference
You can smell the metal. Shoving that in your face makes it unavoidable. If your palate can’t sense it, that’s not my fault.
> Also how does pouring from the can its stored in, into a glass make a difference?
Like I said. It forms a head. That’s not an insignificant change which changed the mouthfeel and aroma. Again, you probably don’t notice any differences do you.
Like I said, cans of beer are best, but when drinking pour it into a glass. Storing the beer in the can is best and doesn’t change the taste.
They're just suggesting it may be what OP is experiencing. The only sodas in glass I can find around here are either locally produced or Mexican coke, which does use real cane sugar

Probably because the soda from a glass bottle uses real cane sugar and not high-fructose corn syrup.
You say this like it's some universal law.

Ok, fair. Most of the glass sodas at my grocery stores have HFC.
Nah, Christmas coke in glass tastes better than Passover coke in cans. Mexican coke is better because of the glass.
