How to pour soda pop...

[RING4CY]

Why not just drink out of the bottle or can.

gotta make it complicated.

This.

Drink it straight from the source. Whether it be from a can, 20 oz bottle or 2-liter bottle.

Interesting that you say that. I know someone who refuses to drink soda from a can because she doesn't like the "metallic taste" and thinks it's unhealthy. She thinks the acidity of the soda will end up corroding the can and make the drink part aluminum. She has no problem drinking from a plastic bottle, though.

So if it's served in a glass, does she ask whether it was poured from a can or glass or fountain pop?

I prefer to pour it out fast from great height to get rid of the excessive fizz. At 40+, who needs help getting bloated or belching?

And wrt glass bottles, they are available at just about every grocery store, in the "ethnic" section. But usually just coke, or maybe 1 or 2 other kinds.

Glass bottle is the way to go with soda. It's just tough to find around here.

As for me, glass bottles are definitely the way to go and I would pay a little extra for soda in glass bottles if it were readily available here.

Soda tasted a lot better when I was a kid. Back then my parents purchased it in wooden cases of twenty-four 16 oz. glass bottles. I wish they still packaged soda like this.

With the caveat that I didn't watch the video, there are significant differences in pouring a pop and a beer properly. Also granted, there's no ONE perfect way to pour a beer, as a stout is poured differently than a lager, than a lambic, etc., but in general with a pop, the intent is as little foam as possible. Contrary to kegger party wisdom, that isn't the case with a good pour of beer (in most styles). This also is why beer tastes better from a glass. The foam releases smells and smell is a significant part of tasting. Even more so in beer where certain additions of hops are specifically intended for their aroma contribution (hence the term aroma hops). As cheesy as it is of a marketing scheme...Miller Lite's 'triple hops brewed' is how most beers are brewed. Bittering hops are boiled for 60+ minutes, flavoring hops for 5 or so, and aroma hops only for a minute or so.

We do it all mostly wrong in the states. The correct way is to pour to get a lot of head... I know the first time I went overseas my bear was served in a frosty mug with lots of head that was generally poured at room temp. The frosty cooled it just enough. At first I thought WTH.... found out later this is the best way to serve it for flavor. The first time I got a bottle and not from the tap in Germany I was disgusted to get a room temp beer, but after pouring it in the frosty mug it was pretty good.

I remember my baby sitter growing up lived across from a grocery store. I used to be in awe at the soda delivery guy throwing cases of empty bottles onto the roof of the truck.

Remake the video and change it to beer and bring back the thread during tailgating season. Than people can make fun of you for not drinking cheap beer out a can because you can never win.
