30 year old boomer here.. heavy. But tasted better.

It was a better time

>>15501519
it was like everything was a snapple

>>15501519
I 'm not sure if I have rose-tinted glasses or not but I feel like everything tasted better.

>>15501542
Honestly op's pic really makes me want a Gatorade. Plastic bottles make the beverage totally unappealing. I don't even buy soda in plastic bottles. It's cans or glass for me.

>>15501519
I'm so thirsty

>>15501550
Stuff never gets as cold in plastic as it does in glass or aluminum.

>>15501519
>you must be 18 to post

>>15501519
oh shit I forgot this even came in glass bottles.

>>15501583
I was born in 93 and by then it was already plastic everything

>>15501519
We all slung racial and homophobic slurs at one another freely with a laugh while never getting into fights over it in school back when Gatorade was in glass bottles with Michael Jordan on it, and the teachers overheard it and never gave a shit.
IIRC Citrus Cooler was Mike's favorite.

>>15501795
I remember once in middle school a kid tattled on a group for calling him a fag. the vice principle just stood there and asked "..well, are you?"
That was a good laugh.

>>15501550
The biggest factor to that was real sugar rather than high fructose corn syrup. Most grocery stores will sell glass bottle coke imported from mexico that still have real sugar like american coke used to. Grab a bottle of that and a standard can of coke, pour them into glasses and try telling me the mexican coke doesn't taste far better. It's a fucking crime that we've replaced real sugar in soft drinks with corn syrup.

>>15501877
gotta keep those farmers happy with their welfare

I once back in 1997 lost my grip on a container of mrs butterworth’s syrup in a glass bottle, and immediately I stepped on a shard and got glass lodged in my foot. Hurt like hell but still something nostalgic about those glass bottles

>>15501526
It was really nice otherwise tho.

X, not boomer.
Still old enough to remember glass bottle soda.
10 ounce returnables were a bit of a disappointment. That heavy glass did keep the drink cold out of the vending machine, and there was a big wooden crate nearby to stick your empty in. Just small volume
16 ounces were nicer.
Bottles would go back to the soda factory to be washed and refilled.
They also had non-returnables; thinner glass. These usually had reclosable lids.
Plastic bottles or aluminum cans weigh less, but don't keep the drink as cold, leading to neoprene can condoms.

>>15501538
>30 year old boomer here..
You've been a boomer for 30 years or a boomer that's 30yo?

>>15501519
I hope you mean like actualy 70 year old boomers cause I'm 35 and
>everything still came in comfy glass bottles and jars
that wasn't the case. Not everything. Gatorade and Powerade and soft drinks it was almost always all plastic unless you having a pepsi in some small town diner. Same thing with juice it was again pretty much all plastic and tetra packs unless you were getting some organic 1990s hippy juice. Milk was in cartons, or bags if you're canadian.

>>15501542
Yeah Snapple was literally the one thing on a large scale commercial level that was still in glass bottles.

There was also bawls guarana drink that predates red bull by I don't know how many years, and it could come in a nice blue glass bottle, but that stuff was a lot more niche.

>>15501551
Cans are coated in plastic, probably worse than the harder stuff they use for bottles.

Shit of mysteries past tier

>>15501519
Lime Gatorade was dope.

Damn I want a can of aspen right now.

>>15502178
Those pull-tabs would ruin your day at the beach, and if you were unlucky, kill half your summer.

when I was a kid everything came in glass bottles or aluminum cans my family always bought glass bottles of pop and I remember it tasting better but that is more likely because I was a kid and not because of the kind of sugar or packaging.

some things just taste better when you're a kid

>>15502179
Sounds like you're the dope jive turkey.

>>15501519
It was great. I used to buy fruit punch that came in glass bottles, absolute nectar on a hot summer day.

>>15501519
Everyting tasted better. People bought less of it and they were thinner.

>>15502226
Fruitopia. Use to get preteen girls to flash their tits for me for it.

>>15502247

>>15501600
Dearest me, did you forget our lizard friend SoBe?!

>>15502219
>I remember it tasting better but that is more likely because I was a kid and not because of the kind of sugar or packaging.
not enough people understand this and just attribute it to "back in the day everything was better" and it's honestly a destructive mentality to have

>>15502403
Hmm I dunno... I can definitely attest that sex with little girls back then was actually quite a bit better.

>>15501877
Maybe my taste buds are broken or something but I've done that and they taste exactly the same to me.

>>15502170

>>15501519
There was a lot more broken glass in the streets, lol.

>>15502170
Cans still taste better and get colder.

>>15501519
Somehow coke/rootbeer taste better in glass bottles

>>15502464
it's a meme. placebo is a hell of a thing when it comes to tasting something too

>>15502884
Nah fuck that, Mexican Coke is enjoyable, American Coke is intolerable with that shitty aftertaste.

>>15501877
>muh corn syrup isnt as gud as REAL sugar
grow the fuck up...its all the same

>>15501519
It didn't taste better like some idiots pretend.
The only benefit was it felt premium.
(I would love some of the autistics here to blind taste bottle, plastic, can; and be upset their autism got the best of them)

>>15503006
Bullshit. Gatorade powder mix with ice tastes way better than the plastic bottled stuff. It's part temperature, part real sugar. The drink is basically just citric acid, dextrose powder and sugar for carbohydrates, sodium citrate for electrolytes, and calcium. I don't even know if Lemon-lime has any additional flavorings beyond citric acid. It's basically kool aid with salt.

>>15501519
The glass had nothing to do with it really. The reason beverages bottled in glass tasted better is the exact same reason they got rid of glass, cost cutting. They've fucked with the recipes to cut costs just like they cut costs by switching to plastic.

>>15501877
Reddit take

Goddamn plastic.
>go fishing - plastic everywhere
>go to the beach - plastic everywhere
>go to Yellowstone National Park - plastic everywhere
Plastic fucking sucks because it doesn't degrade quickly and because it's incredibly hard to recycle. Since plastic is hard to recycle (most plastic people send to be recycled actually isn't) nobody pays for it, so there's little incentive for bums or whoever to go around picking it up. Then the plastic ends up in the ocean, and we've got microplastics everywhere and it's a goddamn nightmare. FUCK PLASTIC. I'd be happy to never see single use plastics ever again.

>>15503204
Why are some of you faggots so obsessed with Reddit? I don't know what Reddit likes and I don't care because I'm not a Reddit obsessed faggot like you.

I worked for a time as a large scale baker, and during that time I came to absolutely hate the smell and taste of processed cane sugar. I don't know if anyone has ever noticed because of the volume, but when you have a large amount of processed cane sugar (any brand), it fucking stinks to high heaven. After a while I felt like I could taste it as well, and ever since then I have preferred drinks sweetened with HFCS, and I feel like people who disagree are just full of shit or fooling themselves. That being said, the best possible sweetener for drinks would be, in my educated opinion, inverted glucose syrup.

>>15503225
imagine being this much of a fucking pussy

>>15503215
>Guys im out of touch why do you cool guys like retarded shit?

>>15503212
lol believe it or not i work in yellowstone and the company i work for is hyperautistic about recycling and yeah, most of that plastic shit you think is being recycled in this recycle bins isnt. and like i said that's for a company that is anal about it on top of having to already be in the first place to comply with national park service standards for contractors

>>15503256
Did you know one of the side effects of being a large scale baker for a number of years is that you become strong as a motherfucker and tougher than a coffin nail? I'm more than certain that you aren't qualify to identify a pussy whether it's a real one or a metaphor.

>>15501877
Double blind taste tests have shown that people can't tell between real sugar and corn syrup better than random chance. Also Mexican Coke is a marketing ploy to upsell product; Coke produced for the domestic Mexican market uses corn syrup while the Coke produced for export is produced with sugar.

>>15503285
imagine thinking that baking (a profession/hobby for women and sodomites) makes you somehow tough

>>15503303
Sure, all I know, in real life you'd be keeping your mouth shut like the incel you are. Have fun on the internet champ!

>>15503312
Are you that boomer who always gets real mad about being BTFOed?

>>15503318
most likely a roastoid that cannot bear children

>>15503318
lol is that what you consider BTFO'd? that's pretty sad, fella.

>>15503312
go back to twitter

>>15502178
I grew up in the 90s and remember seeing these mountain dew cans with the mega mouth branding.

>>15503333
i seriously cannot imagine having to start every waking day of my life realizing that i am american

how do you people cope with being third world shitters?

>>15503333
People forget what a huge innovation those cans were at the time

>>15503326
Not that in particular, but interactions like that make this boomer who is probably you chimp the fuck out and say passive aggressive boomer bitch things like “fella”.

>>15503346
>how do you people cope with being third world shitters?
Anyone who thinks the US is a third world country is very poorly traveled.

>>15503361
Well son, you're fully welcome to read whatever intonation into my text that you like, but the reality is you didn't manage to raise my blood pressure even a smidge. You're just not that good at trolling. So once again, I can only say, have fun on the internet, champ. I think your real life is probably pretty sad and I don't think there is any pleasure to be gained on my end from rubbing that in any further.

>>15503346
Suicide, usually.

>>15503359
Yeah I always forget cans had smaller mouths when I was a kid, about the same width of the pull tab.

>>15503385
you do realize you are talking to two different people, right grandpa?

>>15501519
It was glorious anon, truly glorious. This was back in the era when totally awkward young men could still obtain a girlfriend.

>>15503385
Lmao this boomer can’t even distinguish different people giving him shit online

>>15503407
Do you realize that contextually it doesn't really matter? In fact, your unprompted claim of two different people is actually rather suspicious and I'm not sure if I believe it just because you seem to be so defensive about it. OK? Have fun now :D

Fuck corporations and their switch to plastic, terrible for the environment

>>15503385
It is you. Your retarded boomer style always shines through and you always think you’re arguing with one guy when it’s a handful of anons giving you shit for being a retarded 45 year old who posts on the cooking board of this little cartoon jap girl site.

>>15503445

>unfunny

>>15503450
Nah, it's not whoever you think it is. Your pathetic boomer archnemesis? Lol. Maybe you should spend a little less time on here, guy.

>>15503474
Who are you even arguing with and why? Can you stop boomering up every thread you post in?

>>15503486
Someone sounds upset!

>>15503474
god you are pathetic

>>15503500
Imagine being called pathetic by a namefag lol

>>15503499
Do you think you’re winning?

>>15503504
imagine being an overly sensitive boomer Qtard that posts on 4chan(nel)

>>15503333
i still remeber the exact moment i saw these for the first time and being stunned they changed it from the thinner ones lol, i was like 4 in 2002

>>15503333
Was this for fat-mouth Marricans?

>>15501542
Got a snapple last week, it had a plastic body and metal cap.

It felt wrong. Prob wont buy snapple again

>>15501519
Made a great tool when n words wouldn't leave you alone.

>>15501538
im 33 and I remember the glass gatorade bottles

>>15501519
oh the satisfying sensation of smashing a glass bottle on the ground after consuming its contents was just divine. i mostly drank lipton or nestea. 16 oz in the whip that fucker against a wall or the ground. fuckin 90's bro. i came.

>>15503346

>>15507837
Now that I think about it the streets and sidewalks aren’t covered in broken glass like in they were in the 90s. Dog shit is mostly gone too.
