You know cans are just plastic sacs using the tin/aluminum for structure right?

There must be more to it than this. As a Dr. Pepper connoisseur I can tell you that Dr. Pepper from a can tastes far superior than from a bottle.

It's a different type of plastic because it doesn't need to be structural. Plastic bottles use PET, cans use a variety but I'm commonly seeing BPA.
