Why does some Coca-Cola taste like soap?!


Question:

Why does some Coca-Cola taste like soap?

it seems like every once in a while I'll buy a 12-pack of cans of Coke that just doesn't taste right... it's weird. they're not old or past the expiration date or anything and it's regular coca-cola, not diet or 1-calorie or anything. it's really frustrating because I can't drink it, it's disgusting.


Answers:
Alot of mini marts store their soda in the windows so you can see them from outside when your pumping your gas...from the sun..heating and then cooling over and over again until they are sold changes the chemical reaction inside the soda.

This is an example but anything that sits on a shelf with a temperature change..changes the flavor of the soda

lots of factors here......what you had put in your mouth prior is one.....another is different batches from different bottling/canning places may be slightly different

soap? i've never had that problem...

Actually, I've often wondered why most soaps taste like Coca-Cola....
Just kidding.

I've had that as well...I have no idea what causes it but it tastes like a glass that had a little dish soap left in it....blech! :P Maybe it's the manufacturing process, every batch may not come out just perfect and they missed it during quality control? that's all I can figure!

Maybe you're sick and your taste buds are off.

Maybe some of that Coke comes from Mexico.
