    Because soda lines are usually dirty and gross and lined with a sugary, bacteria filled film that adds that little extra something:gj:...trust me, I've cleaned enough of them.

    What is it stored in on tap at the store. I assume something similar to a keg?
    Wouldnt the soda pumped into bottles/cans be the same that goes into the kegs or whatever goes to the store?

    In restaurants and stores, the soda comes as syrup in a bag in a box. A CO2 tank is hooked up to a water line to carbonate it, and the soda bags are hooked up to a separate line. Ratio of syrup to carbonated water are set, and they run to the tap together.

    Mexican coca cola in the bottle is my fave (Real sugar)
    Also I do have this weird caffeine delivery problem. I hate making coffee so will get diet mountain dew in the morning often to stave off a withdraw headaches. Not really the best tasting beverage tho.

    I loved going to the tienda in Mexico for a bag of Coke, they wouldn't let us leave the store with the bottles...:gj:.

    Coke in Japan kinda sucks, it's real sweet in Papua New Guinea, and it's kinda different/weird in Europe. Nothing like here at home...
