Earlier quoted context omitted.
Maybe it's some mass illusion, but most people say that drinking from glass bottles tastes significantly better. Personally cans taste bad, plastic somewhat better.
Cans are lined with plastic on the inside, otherwise aluminium would react with acidic soda. There is no practical difference in that regard between a plastic bottle and an aluminium can lined with plastic
When I'm drinking from the can, I'm "licking" the metal which changes the taste/experience.
