Starbucks 'Trenta': How The New Size Compares To Your Stomach
Famous Death Row Last Meals
This may be the oddest article I've posted here, but hear me out.I was a Pepsi drinker for years and years and years. Nothing really against Coke, it's just that I thought that Pepsi tastes differently, better, than Coke, so I always got Pepsi. Then, about five or six years ago, when I switched to drinking diet soda, I started drinking Coke. I don't know why. I think one night I went to the store to get some Pepsi, they were out of Diet, so I sent with Diet Coke instead. And for the past several years, out of taste and habit, I've bought Diet Coke.
Now I find myself going back and forth between the two. Yeah, yeah, I know, in America you're supposed to be a "Pepsi person" or a "Coke person," just like you're supposed to be a "Mac person" or a "PC person." (For the record, I'm a Mac guy.) It's not that I find that they taste the same. They don't. They taste very different, but I've learned to like them both.
Which is my very longwinded way of asking this question: I've noticed that Pepsi bottles often get some sort of film inside the bottle. Either condensation or some other scientific process I'd probably know if I paid attention in 7th grade science class. But I've noticed that Coke never gets this.
Anyone know why?

It's probably just that the Pepsi one is more visible. I just hooked at a Coke can and I'm think I can tell there's a thin lining. Maybe some day I'll cut one open and check.

A few years ago they developed a bottle that held coke (i think) that was biodegradable, it degraded by light. They pulled the products after a few hundred exploded due to bottle degredation. No one counted on 24 hour stores having the lights on all of the time.
